VT (thoughts on the holocaust)



KYRIE ELEISON

CHRISTE ELEISON

KYRIE ELEISON

LORD HAVE MERCY



WHY

SAYS THE YOUNGER CHILD

ARE THESE DEATHS

DIFFERENT

FROM ANY OTHER DEATHS



WHY DO THESE DEATHS

HAVE MONUMENTS

WHEN SO MANY

HAVE NO MONUMENT

AT ALL



IF WE MOURN ONE

SHOULD WE NOT MOURN ALL

SHOULD NOT EVERYMAN’S DEATH

BE UNIQUE



WHAT MADNESS

TAKES AWAY

THE LIFE OF ONE

WHAT MADNESS

TAKES AWAY

THE LIFE OF MANY

ARE MADNESS

AND EVIL

THE SAME THING



WHERE ARE TEARS

WHEN THOUSAND DIE



ARE CHILDREN BORN

TO BE LED TO SLAUGHTER

BECAUSE OF MEN’S FOLLY



IT IS NEVER EASY

WHEN PARENTS

BURY CHILDREN

ESPECIALLY

WHEN THEY ASK

FOR WHAT PURPOSE

WAS MY DEATH



AND THE ANSWER

IS LIKE DRY LEAVES

GATHERING

AND STILL





FRANK A VOLLMER
