Did we think the Holocaust was gone
And European life could carry on
When US soldiers freed Jews from Belsen.
Muse upon the loss of lives and hope
Children captured as they played and wrote
Then died in thousands, gazed on by the Pope.
Remember too it’s not the victims sole
All of Europe bled in heart and soul
What strength is needed to make remnants whole?
The guilt may be unconscious but it’s there
Attacking us inside and everywhere
We are living yet we bear the scars.
Does it make this less that elsewhere too
Many folk are murdered,not just Jew?
One day soon the police might arrest you.
The Jew is Jesus crucified anew
Next time ,think of this, do we know who ?
Did we think the Holocaust was gone
When US soldiers freed Jews from Belsen?
How my heart speaks
