34. cet, in z?.,.,.. The fire roared, cmd the people ran to the lakes and there they were boiled They stayed in the city, there they were baked. Nowhere could one go to escape the greedy flame, No one, nothing was immune from its unauenchable appetite, All withered under its heat, nothing escaped. Now there are ashes- Where once towered a city rests only a sea of ashes, There is no distinction in the ashesg The ashes of the palace are just as filthy as those of the hovelg The ashes of the white man are as black as those which remain of a negro. Though ashes are usually mute things, These were able to cry outl There is no distinction in death, as there is no distinction in life, they cried. Those that do exist, exist only in the crude minds of some men. Show these men the city that burned! Tell them that a Iew screamed just as loudly when the flame ate his skin as did the Christian. Show them that the ashes of the Church are indistinguishable from those scattered about the ground where once stood a Synagogue. Tell them that there is no distinction, so that those who live may know. Tell them before more cities must burn! -Victor Sonenberg
