Annotated,
annotated and dislocated,
the librarian is distraught as the books are burnt,
and the Jews are sent to the gas chambers to be eradicated,
and the librarian filled with knowledge,
and emotion cries at the thought,
for a nation has been swept up for far too long in rhetoric and Adolf Hitler's lies,
and the librarian on the crystal nacht is lost for words,
and though the pen is mightier than the sword,
there are not enough words to truly describe,
the horror of the many who have died,
and how horrific it is,
that knowledge in the hands of those with charisma and ego,
and who with fixed convictions easily lead,
those who cannot think for themselves,
and easily lead the blind,
and the librarian despairing of weakened heart,
from having lost friends and wearing a scarf,
with the words upon it of Arbeit Macht Frei,
he attaches a rope with a noose to a beam above,
and gets a chair to stand upon,
and puts the noose around his neck,
and hangs himself and commits suicide.
