paradise
mud sloshes
skeletons march
the road to nowhere
our camp freed
many perish from chocolate bars
other acts of loving
kindness with neither
hope nor despair
some survive
our number not yet called
we parade
on blood-soaked ground
germany conceals
poland denies
england bars
america ignores
displaced persons
we are citizens to no
place brethren to no
one with nothing to do
go to a land I will show you
thus commands G-d
and we tramp
to paradise
