The Europe of old

A moment of silence

Strayed from the hearts of those who have already forgotten.

Illustrated by only silent blood invisible to the human eye.

Lest, the legacy of those innocent souls be doomed to the new world of freedom.

Every stone and every river standing silent witness to the atrocities of what man came to do.

Never will their lips sing a tune again; never will again hearts cry.

Calling out in anguish; brother, avenge my blood.

Existing through our deeds that reflect their will of a life of purpose and serving G-d.
