Anger, as black as a hook, overtakes me. Each day, each took, at 8: 00 A.M., a baby and sauteed him for breakfast in his frying pan. Terrible scenes and memories of Auschwitz. tony

Because man has a monster Living within, It doesn't take much to awaken it, For it's only slightly hidden, Under his skin

In the aftermath of Auschwitz execution of Jews, it might be the out pouring of one's feeling full of emotion none can hide as said in this poem indeed!

A horrible poem, obviously the work of mental illness.
