Being alive unchosen may be worse

poem, poetry, politics and poem, recipes, the Holocaust, thinking, virtue or vice 1 Minute

If you think of Auschwitz think of this

Your children will not die by means of gas

All of us will walk that final path

But we have lived our lives so on we pass

The Jews of Europe killed without a word.

The death of God no longer feels absurd

What they might have given forever lost.

Prescription murder,there will be a cost.

As we walk around in obscene dress

The rational and objective caused this mess

Be thankful that our God did not choose us.

Yet being unchosen and alive is worse.

    1. I am sorry I thought I had vreplied to your comment. I certainly thought about it a lot because I wasn’t sure whether l should publish it without speaking to someone who is Jewish. But we’re all affected by what happened whether we acknowledge it or not. I was born just after the war and so I was still quite young when I heard about it and couldn’t comprehend it at all. I don’t want to say anymore in public.
      Thank you for reading my poems Katherine
