Remember

Postby e pluribus unum » Mon Apr 08, 2013 1:30 am

The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
against a white stone…
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly ‘way up high.
It went away I'm sure because it wished to
kiss the world goodbye.
For seven weeks I've lived in here,
Penned up inside this ghetto
But I have found my people here.
The dandelions call to me
And the white chestnut candles in the court.
Only I never saw another butterfly.

This poem was written during the Holocaust, of which starting tonight is a remembrance day.
The Holocaust was a horrible thing that happened.
Please don't bash or flame. I don't know if this is intermediate worthy, but it can be moved if needed. The timer is very off.

This is beautiful. The six million will always be remembered. (I notice you drew in Intermediate. I think it is definitely good enough)
Again, beautiful.

Ya, I know what you mean. A grandparent who is also a survivor came to speak with us.

Cool. There was this really awkward part (at least for me) when a kid in my class asked "What's a gas chamber?"

Why was that awkward? Couldn't you just, like, tell him what it is? ;1

It just felt awkward to me because... it destroyed so many lives. Kind of like someone asking "What's the holocaust?" It's hard to explain some horrible things.
