Speechless
We are left speechless by man's inhumanity to his fellow man, to his brothers and sisters and their children. This collection includes poems about the Holocaust, Auschwitz, Hiroshima, Gaza, terrorism and 9-11, war, and other forms of human violence...
Speechless at Auschwitz
by Ko Un
translation by Michael R. Burch
At Auschwitz
piles of glasses
mountains of shoes
returning, we stared out different windows.

War Poems and Anti-War Poems
These are War poems and Anti-War poems, including a hymn for fallen soldiers and poems I wrote about 911 and its aftermath.

by Michael R. Burch

to end mindless war ... to seek peace,
reconciled
to our common mortality?
