what do we tell our children

what do we tell our children

shall we start with the Holocaust,

the ejection of the Jews from Spain,

the Klan,

the pogroms,

we don't need to look at history,

shall we tell them about the toppled tombstones

in the Jewish Cemeteries,

the bomb threats,

the young Indian man, murdered 

for looking different?

what do we tell our children

what do those who do this 

teach their children?
