When Anti-Semite ruled as king,
gammadion flying bold,
the Vatican stayed silent
and a Papal soul was sold.

When vicious pogroms,scrawled on walls,
demanded Yiddish blood,
"His Holiness"'s lips were sealed
and would not stem the flood.

When,into squalid ghettos,
starving innocents were shoved,
the Papal ears were deaf to screams
from those they claimed to love.

When gas poured into chambers closed
and Auschwitz' furnace raged,
the "all-embracing Christian love"
lay silent,bound and caged.

The Jewish soul will not forget,
nor will it cease to bleed,
since "Son-of-Man" abandoned them
in hour of desperate need.
