“Nothing
Hiding – 2”
cji
3/24/14
All done
in plain sight
smells and
above ground
still
unseen to the mind
refusing
to comprehend
or
simply in denial
fending
off the truth
while
still digging dirt
roaring
fires of decay
death
all around found
few
witnesses remained
others
refusing to hear
even
when voice given
experts
having done well
hiding almost
all to see
till in
the end found
all done
in plain sight!

(Epilogue:
A final
solution begun
here and
other camps
Germanizaton
so called
extermination
as in past
civilized
worlds united
since
the beginning of time
these
held in Germany
others
in France-Russia
some in
the United States
natives
and religious
as then
and even today
citizens
digging in dirt
looking
for the relics
gold –
money – jewelry
antiquities
of truth
denying
all happened
while
hiding nothing
just
another event
a final
solution known!)
