The Poetry Super Highway has published their 20th Annual Yom Hashoah Issue featuring 58 poets. This week, 71 poets from all over the world remember the Holocaust in our 20th annual Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) issue. Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) was this past Thursday, April 12th.
I am one of the 77 poets chosen. I was inspired to write by the DNA confirmation that i am indeed part Jewish.

Neo-Fascism Must Be Defeated Again
In this day and age of fake news
And neo-fascism rising yet again
It is important to bear witness
To the undeniable fact
That the Holocaust can never ever come again
That is what we must vow every day
Never again
and some other of my fascism poems
Worst Year Ever
2017 How Much I Despise You
Following 2016 the second-worst year ever
Will 2018 be any better ?
And what we have suffered
The darkness settles on the land
Like a curse on the land
As our mad demented senile dotard king wannabe
Struts about the world’s stage
Ushering Americas inevitable decline
As America’s foes and friends wonder
Has America gone mad
Turing over ultimate power to this man
A con man the narcissistic criminal
Self-proclaimed smartest man in the room
In reality a clueless reality TV hustler
Whose sell-by date has expired
As he tries to make America great again
For white Christian men
The rest of the country struggles
To cope with the ever declining standard of living
The 1 percent loved the stock market
Love the dismantling of the regulatory state
The corporate tax cuts
and the coming plunder of the land
Can Disney Yellowstone be the future?
While the rest of the world
Embraces the energy of the future
And this great denier of the truth
Wants to boldly take America back
To the 19th century era of oil, and coal
Yet perhaps it does not matter in the end
As long as we have one another
The darkness will come
But it will go away someday soon
The great American nightmare will be over
This is what I pray for 2018
The end of the darkness
that consumes our land
American Life and Death
As American struggles
To cope with the ever declining
standard of living
for the forgotten 99 percent
The 1 percent loved the stock market
Love the dismantling
Of the regulatory state
The corporate tax cuts
And the coming plunder of the land
Can Disney Yellowstone be the future?
As America declines
Back to the future
Heading Back to the Past
While the rest of the world
Embraces the energy of the future
Our great denier of the truth
Wants to boldly take America back
To the 19th century era of oil, and coal
Yet perhaps it does not matter in the end
As long as we have one another
We will overcome
The darkness will flee the land
When Will this Darkness End
As the darkness settles down on the land
All are consumed with evil
Foul deeds and endless darkness
I wonder if it will ever go away
Yes I wonder
If our great nightmare will ever end
Are we doomed
To live out the decline of America?
This is what I pray for 2018
The end of the darkness
The unleashed hatred
that consumes our land
