There've Been, of Course, Many Holocausts

A poem for Holocaust Remembrance Day: There've been, of course, many holocausts. How come only one gets to be "The"? Each equally horrific, though some are lost, Hard to tally, or ancient history. Only one was just pure genocide, Lacking any other conceivable aim. Obliteration, total and worldwide, Could be the only goal that might explain A factory of death, efficiently Unloading loved ones from boxcars to be gassed, Shoving them naked into ovens, routinely Turning millions into heaps of ash. © by Nicholas Gordon Audio and Video Music: Chariots of War.
