Historical Silence

1938-1945

Sounds long past come across the echoing space,

Idle and listless, quiet and loud.

Lingering evermore, hauntingly,

Enduring, echoing fear, pain, anger and hate.

Not a soul can rest in peace for unjust persecution,

Caught in eternity until suddenly silenced.

Emptiness echoing, hauntingly, eternally, torturing the soul with pain forevermore.
