unsilence
this poem is so un pc that i may be pilloried
no one gave us a parade no one gave us a
protest march silence reigned when jews
were ovened slain
homosexuals too roma+sinti +the mentally
challenged silence deranged our skin white
this hatred beyond skin deep creeps into souls
of survivor’s children
so much for my white privilege tho i know that
my yellow star is invisible + i may walk the streets
with impunity no profilers bearing down +10,000
doors opening for me
open sesame
but down in the deeps there lives a jew who calls
hide hide hide they’re coming for you i creep
into the closet into the hole behind my shoes +wait
did u know that the bones of hidden children were
found in closets by the looters +squatters in jewish
homes?

reads: ..there are no reports of any protests by the
people of Hamburg..
