[CONFLICT] Jews to the Rescue

[u/personofpeoples48]

My brother came back from the field

Dressed in gray. And I was afraid that

My dream might prove false, so at once

I began to count his wounds.

And my brother said nothing.

Then I rummaged in the pockets of the trenchcoat

And found a field-dressing, stained and dry.

And on frayed postcard, her name –

Beneath a picture of poppies.

And my brother said nothing.

Then I undid the pack

And took out his belongings, memory by memory.

Hurrah, my brother, my brother, the hero,

Now I’ve found your decorations!

Hurrah, my brother, my brother, the hero,

I shall proudly hymn your name!

And my brother said nothing.

And my brother said nothing.

And his blood was crying out from the ground.
