Ah, Rebecca knows
Too well the unmarked
Graves, the souls forgot,
The lost unmentioned,
The unremembered,
The tall dark chimneys,
The grey smoke rising
To an indifferent
Sky, the sick promise
Of showers, the cruel
Gassing, the nightmares,
The lice, the bodies,
The children taken,
The melancholy
Songs, and somewhere off
A bright sun, cool moon
And a death too soon.

This reminds me of Anne Frank and all others who sufferred from Holocaust. It makes me sad how their lives ended just like that. :-( The poem was beautifully written that it could reach deep-seated emotion. ^^

Another good one in the series Terry and sadly the world still needs reminding.

i've just started to dig into your poetry and noticed you have a bunch of holocaust poems. this one leaves me sad, melancholy, as i suppose it was meant to do. it is a fine tribute to the millions who died.
