"Record Keeping"


“Record Keeping”
(in the end)

cji
2/1/16

Daily records kept to remind
or to appease the high command
even when census taken
freezing rains and hours
November 11, 1943
over 300 died of the cold
some 40,000 accounted
record keeping to be kept
while numbers vary
over 150,000 in toto
58,491 and any one time
in accommodations for 7000
history is cruel in numbers
while shading the truth
without feelings or voice
a statistic in the past
all’s left in the end!
