THIS DAY IN HISTORY

Anne Frank taken away
with her dear ones
on the ninth of Ab
in her Hebrew calendar
on the wall
to honor the destruction
of the Second Temple
and a fast was ordered,
and today Aug. 4
3 Jewish kids
murdered in Mississippi
for black civil rights
and Lizzie Borden's family
axed to death
and those who hurt
Rodney King sentenced
to jail,
O God of justice.
