“Voices”
(Asian Holocaust 2)

6/29/14
(Prelude:
Hearing
the often silence
almost a
stillness shouting
reminding
one of the past
while
yet heard in present
voices
of those so abused
demeaned
as being human
by
others claiming superior
using
war as their excuses
murdering,
raping, playing
ignoring
any understanding
confident
never to be tried!)
(1)
(from
history)
27,000,000
deaths in WW2
found in
the Far East theater
this
estimate is on the low side
voices
again never to be heard
mortality
taken from them all
of these
3.2M were Japanese
Chinese
deaths 15.5M known
other
Asians 8M included
allied
troops/civilians 262,704
totals
without voices to know
many
only left in mass graves
devastation
due to hatred’s lust
carried
on until the very end
then
biologics dropped for more
till
today none know how many
voices
silenced and unheard!
(2)
Forever
granted without voice
as if
dumb and now blinded
beyond
the reach of mortality
terribly
tortured and abused
silenced
and lost in history
never
happened as now told
immunity
to the assassins then
just the
glory of warfare thought
praised
today and honored
not the
dead but the living
ignoring
atrocities committed
monuments
many to visit
voices
crying to be heard
no
longer politically correct
it
happened but it did not!
(3)
(from
the enemy)
Deftly
designing cross-paths
doing
all to become reputable
reporting
in lies and rhetoric
tortuous
means to deceive
as if it
never happened then
movies,
photos, all just PR
allies
today – enemies forced
even
India agreed not us
but the
US caused the war
we
silenced the voices then
while we
honor our atrocities!
(4)
Millions
have to die for resources
is this
found unusual of any evil
it is
the way of the world always
men/women
fight and many die
over property,
thrones, power
each
nation needs to survive
denied
were what was needed
therefore
to venture forth to live
millions
had to die for resources!
(5)
There
were no death marches
in war
there is no surrender
those
who do are worthless
slaves
and treated no better
history
showed in Civil War
prisons
place despicable
either
to the north or south
why call
us barbarians still
building
railroads* needed
labor
was not forced found
all
being readily engaged
time was
of the essence
and many
died but not all
this
work was done quickly
in war
there is no surrender
there
were no death marches!
*Burma
Railroad
(6)
Why so
few war crimes tried
only so
few most caring not
our
scientists not charged
heralded
for their genius
millionaires
after the war
our
Emperor not charged
many
acquitted gone free
some
foolish Generals
even
some fool Admirals
and of
our accusers known
most
back to their own killing
some
even still to this day
so few
war crimes proclaims
our
innocence to be shown!
(7)
(other
voices)
Cymbals
of conciliation
business
more important
money–betrayal–ignorance
media
bored with the war
time
sweeping under rugs
acts of
atrocities to forget
give it
up this recognition
requesting
a fair hearing
none
care–none remember
voices
seeking other things
even
today ignoring truths!
(8)
Was
there an Asian Holocaust
were
millions abused, murdered
who
committed such things
didn’t
the Chinese kill their own
India
did the same to theirs
same
with Indo-China and others
too much
conflicting testimonies
too many
witnesses passed on
it
seemed there was no interest
just
voices as the Babel tower
confusion
and contention
boredom
fully setting in!
(9)
Can more
be written
of
course it could
each of
the camps
each of
the atrocities
each of
the slaughters
each of
many rapes
each of
these untold
needing
of course voice
time and
effort to retrace
memories
to remember
nightmares
to return
worth
the price to voice
each
difficult to speak!
(Epilogue:
Voices
of contention heard
different
stories still to unfold
maybe a
hidden diary found
records
held by the Chinese
even
those of rewritten history
too many
voices conflicting
Japanese
contesting all
adding in
their thoughts
culture
dictates memory
so much
still to be spoken
how much
will be the truth!)
