moments created turned history into another one
it's always hard to remember so far back and to forget
when we share a life alone and learn to live with one another
backward we walked but in forwards, we gained a thought
some found a chance to escape, though relived the horror
caged into an eternity without ever knowing what to live for
a train ride to hell without the chance of ever getting parole
don't take your life for granted otherwise, you'll end up in here
starvation sours the stench with living in knee-high deep, dirty mud
stared down upon as the struggle for existence slowly expires
a race in despair that dwindles away into fading memories
caught in between the murderous killers who have no souls
and man stood beside in knowing full well the atrocities happened
unstoppable is the greed to power and to control a living life
burned to the ashes without any kind of living or trace to find
ruined families, ruined communities and the audacity in humans
allowing the things to happen when we must turn to God and pray
so in never leaving a story behind, we should all say a word
about what we do when we have nothing on offer to give or to hold
in respect and a priority to the grace of the good humankind
eradication is the damaged mastery of evil and the terror it leaves behind
in our world now we have as always the lands we love and protect
to live in and to open up the undiscovered, in love, we must not forget

Wow... Awesome right
pleased you like it BSsmooth..
Great muse with a moral and I like the mention of God. The metaphor employed is splendid too. Seems to be in fine freeverse style. Thumbs up.
Pls do review my latest poem too. Ive been writing elsewhere and readers loved it or got sth frm it so I wish to share here too
the splendour and devotion that sits hidden deeply inside this poem are in reality, far more poignant and severe that what it actually reveals. In my mind whilst writing this I had visions of people suffering during the German holocaust. there are so many things that I wanted to try and express and to work out a lasting impression of how serious this situation was. I live in Europe and the attempt to eradicate the Jewish race still lingers around in people memories. I wish I had the nerve to try and express what it is they felt whilst they were getting slaughtered. I am happy how it turned out and thanks for your lovely comment..
