Eighty Years AgoEighty years ago, the horrors
Mesmerized the world
As Nazi flags came down
To never after be unfurled.
The captives held at Auschwitz,
Walking skeletons, at best,
Didn’t have to speak; their bodies
To their torture did attest.
It seemed incomprehensible,

Bethlehem is ClosedThe birth place of Jesus
not a sound could be heard
the celebrations cancelled
surrounded by soldiers
the village living in fear
Christmas carols

NIGHTERRORS II silence speaks volumesShattered,
A city skyline weeps within
Tendrils of the deep
A broken world, time's cruel grin.
The compass needle spins insane
Lost in a dreamscape's refrain
Echoes of what was
Whispers in the silent mist.
The sky bleeds into the labyrinth

breathes a calm but edgy air
through gaps in the graffiti
and the street art everywhere
its face is sometimes brutal
but its heart and soul seem not
and it walks a sexy diverse walk
that’s cold...

But for Palestine, a time to mourn.
Nakba came, with lands displaced,
A people scattered, dreams erased.
