Watch! they say
It is yours to watch and memorize
to wring your hands and recall
Although, you cannot recall for
You were not there and
imagining is presumptuous.
Remember! they say
Forever. Do not forget
Understand the horror and
feel ashamed
But do not
profess to understand for
you were not there.
Watch! they say
But do not congregate
Perpetrator! Bystander!
Do not speak
It is ours to gather and
reenact and speak of meaning
Aryan! You forfeited your right
to gather, to speak of culture,
or hold up your head!
Watch! Remember!
Pantomime understanding!
(but do not claim to understand)
