# Oradour-sur-Glane

One June afternoon

Of bullets and flame

Took Oradour-sur-Glane

\*

Burning winds came strong

Riding the stench of evil

With its rancid breath

\*

Silence and ashes

A desert, Tacitus wrote

Would be known as peace

\*

What’s left is not lost

When remnants of lives tell us

To remember them
