Remember

   Zachor,

Remember,

The flaming word proclaims.

Think of the destruction

Of the Temples,

And remember.

Remember the pain,

And suffering

Of the Holocaust.

Blazing across the sky,

The single word

Symbolizing so much

Yet simple in meaning.

The fire dies out

As the black sky engulfs it,

But the word zachor

Is burned into my brain,

And I remember..
