Remembering the Holocaust

Remembering the Holocaust -

My brothers of the Promised Land,
The time that passed away tells of you,
The time you have been through,
The times of your walk in faith,
The time you were enslaved,
God brought you out through parting the sea,
The time you were conquered and exiled,
God brought you out by His promise,
The time tried to exterminate you,
A queen brought you out;

We remember the time that tried to wipe you out,
We remember the Auschwitz,
We remember the Dachau and more,
We remember the grey blue dress that you wore,
We remember the guns that put you to death,
We remember the poisonous gas that made you suffocate to death,
We remember the trains that bulldozed you,
We remember those families that are divided,
We remember those lengthy pits that engulfed you alive,
We remember the incinerators that burned you to dust round the clock,
We remember the yellow star that you stitched and painted as you wore them bravely,
We remember the days that the world left you alone,
We remember time how you were humiliated,
We remember the researches that made on you,
We remember the woods that gave you refuge,
We remember the tunnels that you escaped through,
We remember those brave souls that rebelled for you,
We remember those efforts at Warsaw,
We remember all that you have gone through;

The God your God listened to you,
Brought you out and gave you, your land,
Punished those who tried to wipe you out,
You still are being humiliated,
From the north, the south and the east,
Time for our Messiah is come,
When He comes in His full sovereignty,
Your day of the victory is so near,
This our prayer for you,
This is our desire for you,
Your younger brothers loves you,
As you read through every word, this is the truth.
- Suneel Damerakula.
