Yeah, you're so right about the emotional impact and the picture hallway hits hard as it brings it home that these were, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers... and in fact they could/should be considered our family. This shit could happen again if we're not careful as a species and start to recognize when we are being manipulated by extremist ideology. It's an insanely complicated issue and I guess I'm simplifying things somewhat, but I strongly believe that this global culture of separation through national (tribal) identity is something we're long overdue evolving beyond. Ha ha, but enough of that political stuff.

I wrote 2 more verses to that poem (the first was written a few days ago) but the new verses just weren't good enough. The intensity had gone from the poem compared to the verse I wrote the other day and I was pretty numb after writing the opening part of this post.

Its something we will never forget having visited this place and I am glad to have shared this with so many of my fellow steemians and now you.

I shall go and check out your video Vlad. I agree that the sharing of these 'challenging' experiences is a key part of healing the collective unconscious from such extremes of inhuman humanity.
