What Happened Here?
What Happened Here?
Our eyes opened too late
Look, look at the Fire!
Terrible Fire…
We stared at the flames
Strange-looking creatures, dressed
In striped jackets and black pants
Began to strike at us
Left and Right
Shouting
You will be Burned!
Burned to a Cinder!
Could this be just a nightmare?
We came to a crossroads
Flames, huge Flames were rising
Something was being Burned
Children
How was it possible that men, woman and children were being Burned
And the world stayed Silent?
Never shall I forget
that Smoke
these Flames
the Moments that Murdered my God
Turned my Dreams
To ashes
to ashes
Surely it was a dream…
Some of the men spoke of God
For God’s sake,
Where is God?
This is where, Hanging Here
From this Gallows
Why would I bless Him?
Man is stronger, greater
than God
I was the Accuser
I was Alone
I was nothing
But ashes
Then I felt myself sink…
It was Cold
Snow under my feet turned Red
Night had fallen
Death could strike
At any time…
The sound of a violin
A violin?
In a dark barrack where the dead
Were piled on top of the Living?
Never before had I heard such a beautiful sound
All I could hear was the violin
Hear the cannons
Bidding farewell to an audience
Of Dying men
Die today or tomorrow, or later?
The cry of a wounded animal
Groaning, Moaning
The death rattle of an entire convoy
The color of dead leaves
I could not weep.
Nothing mattered…
between Life and Death, I decided
To look at Myself
From the depths
A corpse was contemplating me
the l look in his eyes…
