Where Is God?

But it's pretty clear what god.

Yes, it is about The Holocaust.

Hmm...There something off about this one.

Where is God?

Angels hanging from the gallows

Where is God?

When Devils are called 'The Gestapo.'

Where is God?

Children sending their mothers into the chimney

Where is God?

Babies burn by the truck load

Where is God?

The old man crying on a distant gray street

Where is God?

Broken windows splintered by yellow stars

Where is God?

The red army stalks even closer

Where is God?

The children of Israel cry out to the lord

Where is God?

A young girl writing her fear into a book

Where is God?

A young man still haunted by the knight

Where is God?
  Where did he go?
     Why did he leave...

When the children are whispering his name
While the dead scream for his word

Where are you God?

Hey RG, 
 
I missed this first time round - sorry. 
 
Love the line "Angels hanging from the gallows" - a great bit of imagery.
