AMONG THE AUSCHWITZ DEAD 2

How strange
that I can now
look at the face of a man
who died at 42 -
an electro-mechanic,
his life derailed
& ended
by Fascism -
and think
that when
he perished,
he died young.

But then,
all those whose lives
are stolen from them,
cut short by a bullet,
famine, noose,
waves 
or gas,
are young,
and we who watch
it happen again,
and do little,
are old.
