Sadly she is one of many.




UNBELIEVABLE LOSS

So, today,
Ninety-nine years ago,
Marketa was born.
Looking at her photo
You would not believe
She died
Exactly
Six months
Before I was born
Nearly eighty-one
Years ago -
In Auschwitz.
There is no justice
In the world.
Her death
is the World's
Unbelievable loss.

Thanks Allen, for reminding us of what the Holocaust was all about - the extinction of innocence and decency. And have we learnt any better?

Oh so many of the few
Who happens to be
Different in their own
Way
Killed by those who
You should have known
Beter

You're right. There is no justice, only an imperfect concept of it. I wonder what that leaves? Luck?

You capture the sorrow of lives cut short, or never lived. True then, true now.
