Inexcusable Foreshadowed
Now we live in this awful time
when we know how our tragedy will end
but it has not ended yet
the curse begins devouring
commencing to burn and only worse
because we’ve learned of it
as a spoiler not by waiting
to learn of it and feel its sorrow
in a proper sequence.
Now in this gap of time we tremble
ashen scored with forced knowledge
of our millions murdered and dismembered
ten times those millions done to death
in last century’s German hell on earth
more even than Pol Pot and Mao
and Stalin added in
voiceless drowning cries
of children hated more unwanted
than Jews, gypsies, kulaks
for their innocent
insistence to exist.
And now we are made to know
that all those babies died
so we might rut without consequences
tickle our fancies though it meant
assassinating our each offspring
individually with wires needles knives
until they passed evacuated
and now their cast curse
multiplied by silence theirs and ours
alights and no excuse remains.
