Gone

"I can't look" she says.



as the humane pretend


the Nazi continue on

men work
boys work or die
other boys, girls and women, well you know

"to unspeakable" so they say

say nothing.
its not real (I hope)


why?
how can we stop?

profound suffering
pain
horror


but it just a job
to torture
to shatter
to abuse


and we say nothing
fear
fear of torture
fear of power
fear of death


and we say nothing

but some messages do survive

and we learn nothing because it is "to unspeakable"

and we learn nothing because there is no excitement
no fantasy
no video games
no talk shows
no mindless entertainment


just reality to unspeakable

so it will repeat

  1. Just a job. Just followed orders. Had nothing better to do. Isn't that basically the same excuse?
