Faces, Names
Of The Six Million that fell,
Their stories,
Six Million lives
Thrown away

The Swastika
Took their lives,
Their Innocent Lives,
And Crushed Them,
Like an insignificant sub-human

What did they do?
What did We do?
All six million,
Kicked in the back and forced kneel

All we did was believe
Believe something that was a little different
Our fathers and mothers were Jews too
We are the people set aside
And thrown in a corner

We have been humiliated
Is that enough?
Can you find it in the depths
Of your charred, black heart,
To find a patch of light
The bit everyone has,
Except you

The Names
Of the Six Million who fell
Because they believed
In a better world.
