On November 9 and 10, 1938, in Nazi Germany, the Germans rampaged against the Jews in what has become known as Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. This, of course, helped motivate further the genocide of the Jews, Sinti, Roma, Serbs, and others by the Nazi's. One of the death camps you rarely hear about is Jasenovac, from Croatia. The reason you rarely hear about it is because it was ran by the Catholics with ties to the Vatican. You don't want the Vatican getting a black eye in their participation in this and so many other genocides do you? The first photo is of Auschwitz, the second, Jasenovac. Don't forget these things. Stop the ones happening right now. Stop all future death camps etc. This insane form of alleged existence has got to stop. Never forget. NEVER!
I burn to ash,
and the wind carries me
to a vast pile of grey.
The wind that has blown for millions of years
across oceans and waves
through the trees
shaking leaves, needles, nuts, and fruits
loose to the earth
to feed the world.
The winds that have blown across
billions of faces throughout time
through the fir of animals
pushing rain drops sideways
swirling snow into beautiful art,
seen, then never seen again.
My pieces lay amongst the grey heat
where someone comes by,
picks up a coal
starts drumming to the heart beats
that raise new heart beats
from the ashes
where new life forms
and the wind blows
through the leaves,
the fur of animals,
across the faces of humans...
