Six Million Candles

Six Million Candles

 

Six million candles burning

maybe give or take a handful

and each one, casts a shadow brightly ..

 

Six million candles burning

scant few though

assigned an individual victim’s name ..

 

Six million candles burning

furnace hot and foundry bright

I say, let them burn both day and night ..

 

Six million candles burning

maybe give or take a handful

Let none of us forget the reasons why ..

And still they are persecuted! All of them, not only the Jewish community, but everyone who was deemed inferior, gypsies, the disabled and gay alike. Do we ever learn? Would be a boring world if we all looked and did the same.
They bombed the s*@t out of us, but we (the older generation at least) still got docked if they were late for work.
A wonderful and thought filled piece my friend.
