A fine write N.
Was it me, was she too much for me? Did I jump off a roof, and fall on a greenhouse?! Doh!

A Very Personal Holocaust
Lorna said:
Took me totally by surprise as it went along - just as I suppose it was meant to - how life can change in an instant to something so bad.... those were truly awful times.

Doggerel Dave said:
Much hard graft went into that, Nev – and more worthy grounds would be hard to find than that alluded to above, that figures like six (twelve?) million slip by, when your piece brings home the loss, personally to every one of them..
But further, for me, one other moral argument for the insistence that this Holocaust can never be forgotten is summarized in the line “Take my word, how things change in the blink of an eye ..” – I will always be mindful that change could occur today , tomorrow, any time.....and evidence since has already proven that it can and has. Rwanda, Cambodia, Bosnia.......................................................................................

When we hear figures like six million (forgive my ignorance for innacuracy) it just passes by within a second as a part of a sentence which might have a meaning to the listener, it might be a figure heard many times before assosciated with holocaust..... another word which slips by in a second in a sentence....
We know how rich and rewarding our lives are, how precious is our life even if we are homeless beggars around the late night cashpoint, beggars with a life story to tell, and a warm beating heart.
So was every single one of the millions. Every single one. Possessing, hopes, plans, ambitions, sucesses and disappointment. Possessing life in all it\'s colour.

Personal indeed this lament at grossly cruel inhumanity suffered by numberless families not too long ago -- penned with compassion and graphic honesty your account of Miss Cohen\'s great loss needs to be widely read and remembered -- into my list to make sure I do not forget..... thank you my caring friend.........x

Been there, both sides at different times…..did not enjoy either: inability to concentrate on study and exams on one side, a terrifying responsibility on the other – both, thankfully a long time ago…Who says age doesn’t have its merits….?
One side at least beautifully encapsulated there, Nev.

There comes a time when either gender is tested too much my friend - I guess then appears an untitled and flagrant dismissal which I understand - the She in the waste bin needs to see insults don\'t always bring hasty answers by pacification to most often planned manipulation - - Oooh now look what this read has brought out in me.......... x

Lol at shame or guilt memories.... no such thing, just another few footsteps of the learning stroll through life. The contents of that wastebin serve to thicken the walking boot soles of life\'s journeyman.

\'without even a shelf to sit on
She was deemed unworthy\'..
Oft, passion is deemed a quality
yet
in that moment, of blinding pain
we
far too often, choose to abuse our cherished
weaponising
that same passion, into a reactionary tool
designed
to inflict, such disproportionate levels of heartless
suffering...
(mirror, is a little harder - to look in-to
those, morning after\'s
still, fallible as we are - our conscious
if allowed to, can guide us back
to a realm, where forgiveness
is no longer, such an impossible
dream...)

crazy, how with hindsight
all that we couldn\'t fathom
becomes so glaringly understandable,
its just a little unfair
how it often arrives, a little too late
for those willing to hold-on and fight...
another wonderful poetic treat, dear poet
captured the poetic voice with such sincerity
