    The poem describes the horrors of the Holocaust from the perspective of a 14-year-old Jewish student. It depicts the darkness and ravaging of the innocent Jewish people by Nazis as their hopes and dreams are destroyed. Though the flame of life flickers and faces chilling horrors, the human spirit struggles to remain. In the end, the poem suggests that through remembering and never forgetting, hope can be rebuilt from even one small flame or voice through a spirit of love that grows from learning the lessons of the past.

    The Art of Forgiveness FLAME by Eric Lashner

    Text Notes

    Hi! My name is Eric Lashner and I am a 14 year old Jewish 8th grader in PA. I saw that you could donate poems. I was studying the Holocaust and I had to write a report for school and this poem came to me.

    A Black deeper than night Sweeping, ravaging An innocent race Already pursued Scapegoats- innocent in all ways Night comes Devoirs hopes and Dreams Day looks the other way Ignorance, deceit Night deepens The Flame flickers Life on edge The wind gusts its chilling horror People against people Night seems to have succeeded Life and again stripped Again, again Persecuted Human spirit tries to remain As the last minutes fall upon us The flame burns Weak Stamped out Left for dead Orange yellow, brown, black Black, black, Night Hate Loathing A flame is extinguished Snuffed out Blown out in the wind Never Seen

    We must remember Never forget Hope is left Rebuild Burn once again Burn fame burn Grow and learn One tiny flame One small voice One giant love
