The scariest evil is the evil that smiles...

insistent, monotonous, determined.

Halcyon sunsets suggest a promise

that night coming on coming on 

will bring rest and peace and sleep,

but soldiers marching march march

with guns and bayonets out of step

with the drumming that won’t stop

make it easy to forget to remember

that the railway ride to Treblinka 

in better times was a lot of fun.
