As the gates grow
Higher and higher
I sit next to the
Warm strong fire.
 
I think about the
Desire for fire
Of the
People in the Holocaust.
 
How could these Nazis
Do this to their own kind?
I guess the saying is true that
What goes around, come around.
 
Though the Nazis were strong,
They also desire the strong fire
That the Jews could not have.
 
That was then.
This is now.
