1.) HOLOCAUST
a vulture is hovering around the sky
the night is dark
a mother-bird is assuring her chicks
to provide food at the dawn
but alas the days are darker now
the air is filled with
unfaithfulness hatred and suspicion
the vulture is ready to pick up the
little birds any moment
the mother cannot get food for her chicks
she cannot go out
there is no sympathy no faith no trust
in this land of Tathagata
the vulture is hovering around the sky
the minds are crippled with fear and suspicion
let the church-bell ring
the conch be blown at the temple
the azans be prayed at the mosque
let again the peace be dawned
in this land of Tathagata

2.) The Victim
Someone mentioned the 'Holocaust' the old Jewish man said 'no'
Such word i do not wish to hear that happened years ago
Then he slowly folded up his sleeve and numbers etched in blue
Told of the sufferings he'd known and all he had been through.
A silence fell o'er one and all across the club room floor
And in his presence 'Holocaust' not mentioned any more
We had amongst us in the flesh one who had lived through hell
But i wish that he could have spoke of sufferings he could tell.
Don't mention 'Holocaust' to me with one wave of his hand
A silence fell o'er one and all how could we understand?
The agony he had been through, the torture and the pain
We did not mention 'Holocaust' no not to him again.
My heart went to that Jewish man who sought no sympathy
He wanted to block out his past as a bad memory
Don't mention 'Holocaust' to me and little else he said
But i could picture living soul whose thoughts were with the dead.
That night i did not sleep too well i had recurring dream
I watched the hungry slowly die, i heard the tortured scream
I saw a gray haired jewish man the sorrow on his face
And i was in another time a dark and a sadder place.
I woke and when i went to sleep the dream returned to me
Of Jewish man with tragic past who sought no sympathy
I see a young man in his prime with a hunger wasted frame
With numbers branded on his hand 'they'd robbed him of his name'.
Some one mentioned the 'Holocaust' the old jewish man said 'no'
Such word i do not wish to hear that happened years ago
Then he slowly folded up his sleeve and numbers etched in blue
Told of the sufferings he'd known and all he had been through.

3.) Escape The Holocaust
Another night
Another fight to survive
As the days go by
Everybody with blonde hair and blue eyes
And if the religion fits
They'll burn to a crisp
This is a fight
A fight to stay alive
Some have tried to escape this
This Holocaust as some have called it
But they were stopped
Dragged, pulled back in
Forced to endure harsh labor camps
Forced to flee their homes
To find a secret place to
Live peacefully without a fear of
Their lives taken away without dignity

4.) Where Was The World?
The gaunt figures of the holocaust
Walking silhouettes of dead.
I wonder at their caved in eyes
And their ghastly shaven heads.
Their empty eyes gazing
Into darkness everlasting
Didn’t the world smell the gas
Or hear the cries of lashing?
Didn’t the world notice the vanished faces
Or the empty houses or missing pearls?
I look at their faces, the eyes of phantoms,
And I wonder: where was the world?
The gaunt figures of the holocaust
Walking silhouettes of dead.
I wonder at their caved in eyes
And their ghastly shaven heads.
Their empty eyes gazing
Into darkness everlasting
Didn’t the world smell the gas
Or hear the cries of lashing?
Didn’t the world notice the vanished faces
Or the empty houses or missing pearls?
I look at their faces, the eyes of phantoms,
And I wonder: where was the world?

6.) Death Of The World
Brutal mutilation
World abomination
This is where your soul will come to die
Your corpse will rot in hell
Taken, from the battlefield
On which you fell
The war in which you fought
The round of ammunition that you caught
Caused by,
Politicians holocaust.
Shells exploding
Rounds rolling
A-bombs dropped from the sky
Killing a city,
County,
Country
Destruction of the world
And we just stand
And watch it die
Brutal mutilation
World abomination
This is where your soul will come to die
Your corpse will rot in hell
Taken, from the battlefield
On which you fell
The war in which you fought
The round of ammunition that you caught
Caused by,

A-bombs dropped from the sky
Killing a city,

Destruction of the world
And we just stand
And watch it die
7.) SS Single Shot Executioners
to save ammunition
SS executioners
used one bullet
a single bullet
to kill a victim
SS killers
would attempt
to kill mothers
with small children
with a single shot
by shooting
the child first
the bullet passing
through child's
body into mothers
to save ammunition
SS executioners
used one bullet

8.) I am The Holocaust
I am the evil that was seen
With a mustache on his face...
I am the ones that were
Held against there will
I am the sound that was
Heard of screaming, begging for a way out.
I am the innocent blood that was
Shed on these evil fields.
I am the flesh that was
Torn beyond the wired gates.
I am the tears that were
Seen crying on these graves.
I am The Holocaust.
I am the evil that was seen
With a mustache on his face...
I am the ones that were
Held against there will
I am the sound that was
Heard of screaming, begging for a way out.
I am the innocent blood that was
Shed on these evil fields.
I am the flesh that was
Torn beyond the wired gates.
I am the tears that were
Seen crying on these graves.
I am The Holocaust.
9.) Holocaust-
Holocaust was a very sad event,
It caused many people to limp and wimp,
My heart was broken,
It felt like I was getting choken.
The Nazis were very unforgivable people,
They were also unlivable people.
They killed everything in sight,
There was no more light.

10.) The Holocaust of Dreams
Dreams are lined up against the wall
In an imaginary Holocaust
One by one, they are shot down
As the dreamer is grounded
To an uneventful reality
A place where innocent fantasies get you nowhere
Because others have lost them too early
And so with a sharp tongue
And a cold heart
They line your dreams up
And tear them down.
