Auschwitz
Auschwitz
Remember this, and never again,
Repeat these actions of blinded men,
Remember this, and never again,
Set out to torture, starve, and maim.
Remember the image, the shame that we see,
When compassion and love lost its memory,
Remember when man, turned its back on mankind,
And because of his greed, left its conscience behind.
Remember the rails, that are rusting today,
Where millions of souls were carried away,
Remember the faces, the hollowed-out skin,
And the eyes of the people, still surviving within.
Remember the shoes, and the dolls and the toys,
And the hope that was gone, from these young girls and boys,
Remember the old and the sense of despair,
When death and defilement hung in the air.
Remember these days, remember them well,
When humanity was living and dwelling in hell,
Remember the shame from the pictures you see,
And of who they all were, and how it came to be.
Remember what caused this?. A dictator`s lust,
That wanted a race to be ground into dust,
Remember the shame that we all feel today?
Then don`t let this memory, fade away.
An apology from humanity, Rest in perfect Peace.
