Back Next Communal Nightmare

NIGHTMARE!
You are in a living nightmare
said the still quiet voice
under the din of the panic.
Shocked and dulled
and unbelieving
we marched into the Gas Chamber
thinking it was a communal shower room.
Oh the children
what of the children?
I am ready to take the darkness
Oh but the children
I am ready to take the darkness
Oh but the children
Is there a Supreme
that knows more than I know?

Irwin R. Shaw - July 3rd 1988
