To quote one of my brevity\'s that defines this work beautifully -
You wove the words innocently, yet left the meaning exposed

There Are No Graves
Suresh said:
I see your quill got the teardrop for its dry ink.
Mans cuelty towards its kind has existed throughout existence, but it reached new heights in these concentration camps.
What\'s worse is that none of this has had any impact, for millions are still slaughtered every year.
Plaster your poem in everyone\'s mind, and hope for change.

I Can feel its chill

There Are No Graves

I knew this was Auschwitz as soon as i began to read it.
No there are no physical gravestones. Instead we all carry an internal gravestone for the human beings, individuals, people, families, children, babies, grandmothers, sisters, brothers, fathers... people like all of us here who were each once more than a single figure in a total of MILLIONS murdered by this sick regime. Each with their own aspirations, humour, art, sufferings, pride, loyalties, love,, kindness, caring, human fkkng beings.
Yet it happens again on a smaller scale
Very sombre and extremely powerful dark writing from you today. Perfectly fitting for the subject. Raises strong feelings.

Ache
dusk arising said:
Aches which nag you and only time will heal are the weight of life\'s unfairness sometimes. Personally i try to shrug them off with the selfish consolation that, somewhere, someone probably felt/feels the same about me.
Your piece is compact and powerful saying so much to, and for, those who empathise.

You can\'t get even with this sort of pain. Aches can heal slowly, but in sad situations you must maybe look to higher horizons. Great work though.

They ask, but don\'t listen
Or
What good is talking, if no one is listening
Or
Silence is golden
Or
Keep your thoughts to yourself
Or
Say it like you have

Did drive through Sofia on my Eastern European trip in mid \'60s. My favorite memories are of Odessa, St. Petersburg and Budapest.
I\'m sure they have all become the global cookie cutters by now.
Great visual in your poem thou.
