Memory Moving Forwards
The road
thus far from Auschwitz-Birkenau
Continues
being paved with good intentions,
Although
there are frequent dissentions
From notions
of human rights, even now.
Too many
fingers ready to point out
Those who
are to be considered others,
No matter
they be sisters and brothers,
Even if
unrelated by blood. Doubt
Does not
seem to bother the demagogue
Who savours
every bitter word spoken,
Yet has no
words to mend a world broken,
Fractures
they would conceal in night and fog.
Look for a
fresh way, don’t just follow orders,
Choose the road
less travelled, beyond borders.
D. A.
