After two years, huge festivals returned
War memorial has also returned
Their combination
Is good for an impressive commemoration

Ramadan, Easter,
Eid ul Fitr, War Memorial
Their coincidence I administer
As a positive note in times of trial
It was a proper January day
Corona is always present
The memorial took place anyway
A rainbow appeared to us present
A small group of people only
On their way to the monument
The King spoke in honesty
It was a heartwrenching moment
@D
Modest, impressive ceremony
My own pumped nerves
Brought concentration, probably,
To deliver what remembrance deserves
@D
Unyielding they are present
The few survivors who lived to see
Peace & contentment
Now, that we’re relatively free
@D
Now every year same discussion
Should we commemorate
German & newer victims’ fate
Or stick to Hitler’s destruction
@D
Tejo! Leuke verrassing om jou ook hier te zien. Wel een zware posting, echt 4 mei, maar dat mag ook best af en toe. Fijn weekend, @D
