O P E R A

By Itzhak Bareket © 2007.

O P E R A
...at a very small gate of a little green village,
there are two trees with little white flowers
two trees there are with lovely white flowers,
like two chandeliers with shining silver lights,
on the high ceiling house,from the bigrand opera.
at a very small gate of a little small village,
winds are shaking branches and leaves.
winds are shaking trees with white flowers,
people like jews-in their white large caftans,
are shaking themselves,with faith and respect,
when silent they pray to find the right way...
at the very small gate of alittle green willage,
a very little bird is singing thrilling songs.
the bird is singing well known psalms,
from an old sinagogue in a little town-shtatlle,
and madame buttterfly,from the bigrand opera...
at a very small gate,of a little green village
H O L O C A U S T
to the unforgetable,blessed memory of 6 milions jews...
no,
it wasn't so far from here
it wasn't in another planet
it happened here,in the great continent
sophisticated europe,
under the open eyes,
of so called civilized people
"ARBEIT MAHT FREI"
(work makes free)
they wrote so on their death gates,
and they killed us,
listening to fine music,
eating excelent food,
and faking special, selected whores.
it was not a geological catastrophy
it was a biological one
MEN KILLED MEN
