We the Innocent

Neville

We the Innocent

We the innocent

The nameless

Approximately

Six million of us

Give or take a few

Hundred thousand

No longer fear you

Do you hear us

Ignorant creator of

So many saints

Master of the oven

Collector of hair

  • Fay Slimm.

    Powerful points made on those who think they create "saints" and for the nameless invent fear - -- the time indeed has arrived to stand and be counted - - a telling read my friend.

  • Neville

    Thank you Fay.. I'm sure you will not be surprised to hear it was a recent documentary that reminded me of my much earlier visit to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp that prompted me to pick up my pen... Neville

  • Poetic Dan

    Powerful stuff....
    Well appreciated

    • Neville

    • Andrew Charles Forrest

      Excellent N well spoken
      We the defiant

      • Neville

      • dusk arising

        A fitting tribute to the murdering nutter of the twentieth century and his henchmen and women.

        • Neville

          some things are just crying out to be said... thank you D A..... N

            Quite apart from what he was responsible for with other nations, the things he did to his own people were disgusting. I recently viewed a long film about his rise to power with Robert Carlisle in lead role. He really was a despicable brute.

            Six million and oven told me you were referring to Auschwitz. The horrors (though not of the same nature) never stopped, only the players - genocides are going on even today.
            So when will we learn, so what is a human worth?????

            • Neville

              you are quite right, vast numbers of people are being subjected to terrible treatment and large scale slaughter around the globe.. it has always been the case and sadly, I see no likelihood of it changing in the near future... N

                and if we ever dare to forget.... someone else will eventually come along and set the whole thing off again... thank you..

                    Those not directly involved may FORGET an ISSUE, an EVENT, but one CANNOT FORGET the cause, for its hammered into us EVERY YEAR, in one part of the world or another.
                    HORROR is HORROR no matter who commits it.

                    • Suresh

                      You know OUTBACK, above all those that you have forever mentioned, the WORST CRIMINAL is the one wearing the ROBE, and passes JUDGEMENT on others, without any RESPECT for the LAW, they SWEAR to UPHOLD.
                      They are WORSE than the slimiest BOTTOM FEEDERS.

                      I'd wish for ww2 to end right now. Us humans have a faith for money making with the evil Hitler and the Jewish people who incidentally receive incomes from the history in which they suffered, experienced and to be a low as life can offer up to the people who were captured tortured and burned in the constant flames of the oven. You have reminded us how death in the millions can come easily.

                        and if we ever dare to forget.... someone else will eventually come along and set the whole thing off again... thank you..

                          The whole world is at war and we must realise many wars are actually taking place just as we speak here. Approximately 250 across the planet all killing each other over some petty political wrongful business about who has the most weaponry, wealth, but mainly to keep as many humans down in the dumps as humanly as possible. There are no winners in wars, just losers.

                          • kevin browne

                              War, OUTBACK, war, we are at war and let's not forget that. Just like the number of humans on this planet, money, too also has the same problem. There is too many of it on both sides. Eradicate money and humans then life will diverse in better ways than it already does.

                            • Michael Edwards

                              Powerfully put in superb prose - great work Neville.

                              • Neville

                                thank you sir.. I note that not everyone has the same values or perspective.. N

                              • Goldfinch60

                                Powerful write Neville, an horrendous time in our world created by one man - but there are people still out there that can do this, they must be stopped.

                                • Neville

                                  absolutely... many thank you's my friend GF60.. your visits to my various words are always appreciated sir... Neville
