BUCHENWALD CONCENTRATION CAMP
Weimar, Germany

Do not weep for me
There is no virtue in HELL
My heart was blackened by the stench

You must forgive us all
Forgive yourself
For the vile things you would do
When sentenced to this nightmare
Of calculated humiliation

Do not point your finger
To assuage your guilt
The blame is universal

The horror
The indignation you feel
Is the denial of your own dark side

The resolution will never be achieved
As long as you continue
To deny the possibility
Of your own complicity

FORGIVE
