      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the

      Outrage and Hope - Solange Lebovitz

      Biography

      July 24th, 2004

      We live in a perpetual motion,

      The here and now,

      The there and tomorrow,

      Trying to do everything

      With limited resources.

      Forgetting, just for an instant

      The depressing state of affairs

      Of our civilization,

      We must admit that imposing

      And startling constructions

      Rising from the legacy

      Of slave workers,

      Mark the passing of centuries

      With ingenuity and perseverance

      Despite the deplorable conditions.

      Man is imbued with optimism

      To refuse the status quo

      Leading to decay,

      He must persist to live

      And do his part

      In the scheme of things

      Before he can rest

      In the inevitable slumber.

      November 15th, 2002

      Have you seen the devil?

      He leads his cohorts

      Of rapacious,

      Thwarted mind adherents

      Throughout the earth

      Pausing here and there

      To create havoc

      And rampage

      Leaving a trail of hatred

      And murder,

      Rejoicing in the completion

      Of his evil deeds.

      Can anyone stop him,

      Or is it more profitable

      To join him.

      Unabashed, remorselessly

      Steeped into the hysterical frenzy

      Of unchecked violence

      And slaughter,

      The disciples of the devil

      Relish with fervor

      Dipping their hands

      Into the blood

      Of their enemies.

      Aping the appearance of men,

      They are the monstrous beasts

      Of humanity soon to disappear.

      2001

      A new day,

      What happened to the smoke

      Of the gas chambers

      Hovering thick,

      A black wall of clouds

      Melting into the sea.

      Patches of dark

      And bloody red smoke

      In a gray background

      Seem to stay still

      Auguring strange happenings,

      But very slowly dissolve

      Into lighter shades

      Pale gold like flames,

      Rosy, then white

      In a pale blue sky

      As the sun
