The Unwritten

The times of wonder gone
The wise women drugged
Into submission.
 First Peoples neglected
Their land abused.
Forensic psychology reveals traces
Of long-forgotten faces
Which, like Munch's silent scream,
Degenerate into nightmaredream.
Desire, in all its lurid manifestations,
Falls into disuse,
And all is as it was before:
A flat, grey concrete floor.
Krema I at Auschwitz

Eminently productive
340 corpses burned every 24 hours
This was indeed progress of the sort required
Arbeit macht frei
Weaponising the common man and woman
An act of genius/

Monsters exist
But much more dangerous are common men
Ready to act without question.
Yes, plenty of those in our nation.

Thank you kindly Ghazala lari. You can take a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.

Your final stanza should ring bells in deaf ears. But deaf ears cant hear. An alarm should be raised so high that their vision hears what you have written here.

Sad but so true.
