To find out, not to forget
and to choose justice, tolerance and peace.
A pair of red shoes
There is a pair of red shoes
number twenty-four
nearly new:
inner sole can still be seen on the brand of factory
"Schulze Monaco.
There is a pair of red shoes
atop a pile of children's shoes
to Buckenwald
were a child of three and a half years
who knows what color his eyes were
burned in furnaces
but his tears we can imagine
know how the children weep
even his feet can imagine them
shoe number twenty-four
for 'eternity
because the feet of the dead children do not grow.
There is a pair of red shoes
to Buckenwald
nearly new
because the feet of the dead children
not consume the soles.
