OUR KRISTALLNACHT
by Georg E Mateos → (All Poetry by Georg E Mateos)

In 1938 we heard of a kristallnacht and what came after it, in 2001 we heard of 9/11 and know what will come after it.
The lambs are proclaming their unbreakable decision for peace, whilst the wolfs prepare for slaughter day.


Poem Artwork

A David's star painted
on a shop's wimdow,
dripping down
its yellow blood,
inside it in crude letters
JUDE
someone had wrote.

Who believes that tears
are only water?
We march today
indifferent as we could,
it can happen again
if you are indifferent,
destroying your little world.

If you let them...son
you can be wearing
another citizen label
on your arm around,
with a day for hate
every Friday,
like it was in "1984"

No one could believe that it
could ever happen, but it was,
the ideological extremism
or the senseless slaughter,
but here we are today...
still believing that tears,
are only water.

Georg - I support each and every word, here. You show a depth that is missing in too many people. Awareness is the most valuable commodity in the human makeup. Yours is running overtime and to the limit. Yes, it can happen here, and it appears that either the Middle East or the China/India partnership could be successor to world leadership, taking the title from the USA. Could be unless we are vigilant and stay aware. Thank you for this one. - Bill

Well done, Georg! And it has already happened in a way too subtle for most people to realize ... that they wear an invisible armband and on the armband it says "Consumer" and they all march to the drum of Market and Credit and Debt... Once in a while someone will notice the similarity of the two words -- "Slavery" and "Salary" -- Ahh! The world has moved on.

George it is happening already last year the jews were racism by Neo - Nazis and Skin Heads in larger numbers than 2005. This is so powerful the whole poem.
"The lambs are proclaming their unbreakable decision for peace, whilst the wolfs prepare for slaughter day...

Thank you for sharing the truths.

W o W, Georg,

An excellent, heartbreaking write of pain; we have not learned, have we. Shame on us.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

Mr. Mateos, I have a growing admiration for your writing. I could only hope to someday turn mere letters and words into such beautiful representations of my soul as you do. You have something to say and I praise you for it. Thank You - H.B.
