RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GAZA
Starvation in Gaza
Remember the Holocaust
Remember the concentration camps
Remember Auschwitz and Buchenwald
Remember Dachau and Langenstein
Remember the images of starvation
Skin devoid of flesh covering skeletons
Gaunt faces stripped of hope
Eyes pleading for relief
A portrait of inhumanity to man
An exploration of the lowest depths
Depravity and desperation
Remember the perpetrators
Remember the solemn promise
Never again, never again
Now look to Gaza
Familiar images on darker skin
Hopelessness and desperation
Living skeletons and bodies devoid of flesh
The victims become the perpetrators
And the cry becomes the accusation
The condemnation, the curse
Never again, never again
