THE MEMORIAL EVENT

What they don't tell you,

these politicians with

their wreaths and speeches,

standing there with

almost real tears

in their eyes, is this:

None of their countries,

before their birth,

fought the war

to liberate this place.

Wars are fought

over borders and power,

not to end slaughter.

So when you hear:

"Why didn't they bomb

the trains, why

didn't they bomb

the railway tracks,

why didn't they

bomb the camps?"

You know the answer:

That was not

what they fought for.

Wars are fought

over borders and power,

not to end slaughter.
