These are your crimes,
sectioned off by barbed
wire brutality: looking
the other way; getting
used to the smell; living in
denial, denial, denial.
Your crimes are passive
as the photographs
of the bodies you let pile
up, covering for war criminals
but never for refugees.

Notes
General Eisenhower ordered every citizen of the German town of Gotha to tour the concentration camp Ohrdruf (a subcamp of Buchenwald). After the mayor of the town and his wife did so, they went home and hanged themselves. He also ordered every American soldier in the area who was not on the front lines to visit the camp. He said that if they did not know what they were fighting for, now they would know “what they were fighting against.” Finally, every civilian and military media unit was rounded up to take as many pictures as possible, to document the atrocity beyond all shadow of doubt.
