Soldiers, from overseas, discovered them first...
Not ready to observe what the absence of humanity looked like.
These were the strongest of them all,
The ones who survived the longest
in this sinister setting: "Work creates freedom!" ^(!)

Many scenarios with this cynical motto
carry miserable stories: Ask the immigrants, the seasonal workers,
Anyone who is at the mercy of people.
The ones who mean well, overpowered by the ones
Who's mind is set on profit and power.

Humanity in short supply?

Soldiers from overseas have seen too much...
Numbed and dehumanized, in the absence of decent leaders.
The ones, once the weakest,
Now taking on the role of terminators, ending lives.
Once victims now turned villains!

Dachau shows up in Gaza,
Skeletons dying a slow death.
Food as part of warfare.
No ovens here, but infernos with precision
Targeting vulnerable population:

The striped pyjamas turned into threadbare shreds,
The ideology of the government hardly new:
The Chosen Ones, no one else, worthy of life...
Once Aryan, now Semitic supremacy?
The leaders only focused on self-serving practices.

Never again?

Haven't we heard about awareness?
The slogan of: "we were oblivious"
Can't be applied anymore.
Social media might be manipulated, or not allowed.
But sinister settings always find a way out:

Living skeletons of all ages will haunt us...
No closets are strong enough to keep them hidden.
Medical staff killed, babies killed,
Food offered with bullets!
The world has witnessed what can not become unseen!

This time, the horror comes in the shape of
Smiling men, dressed in 3 piece suits.
Once almost erased as a people,
Now the monsters themselves...
Aided by nations, with weapons.

Dachau- Gaza, Auschwitz- Khan Yunis,
Extermination, covered up by lies.
It has been happening again for 2 years now.
We all know about it,
Imprisoned by our collective guilt.

Never again...
