O My little friends
Children!
I'll be your Snowman
Not your Shepherd
or the God!
Just a frozen human being
I open my mouth and eyes
tell you some stories of the bygone cruel wars
pour me some food & water
if you have,
but how could I ask that
from a refugee?
Don't worry and I'll tell you some stories
not the Red Riding Hood or Cinderella
Sorry.......out of service the fairy tale machine
But I'll tell you about Anne Frank, Etty Hilliesum, Edith
Stein, Helga Deen, Simone Weil, Rutka Laskier, Peter Ginz, Hana Brady & etc., those who were disappeared in the Holocaust, lot.......................!
till my frozen death?

'Go out into the World today and love the people you meet.Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people.'-Mother Teresa
