heterodox

distant newborn star
obscured from devotee
occlude by current nebula
a fostered cluster pother

my lone conqueror came
claims the death of home
beyond the synthetic clouds
will be variance is

no one came, no crops grew
then no one knew
the flag of puff stood still
amidst a withdrawn paradise

with a palm
blocks out the sun
king of the desolate star

memory

shadow of a raindrop
apparent
only before its giver splatters
to innumerable puzzle pieces
in an obscured force
as magnetic, these tiny beads
reshuffle in altered turbulence
they formed puddles
gradually evaporate in sight.
subtlety depart as every star does,
when out of focus

clairvoyance

as magicians bound in realism
some misdirection performs illusions

knowing the staled business
placebo effect in the observer
performer pretends mystical

but unlike faux-meat eating vegans
hypocrites still craves

i know it certain
will not happen

"Night and Fog" Review

For Matured Audiences

Night and Fog documents the tragedy from the perspective of a Holocaust survivor, it pulls you straight into the mood with its poetic narration, its curiosity arousing opening shot of an abandoned concentration camp and its depressing score.

The infamous Holocaust was known to almost everyone through obscured history teachings and heroic war films that didn't leave me with the impact "Night and Fog" did. We are constantly reminded in films and books that 6 million Jews were massacred and other atrocities the Nazis committed but what impact did it really had? To me, little to non, maybe with just a passing thought "Hitler is a real psycho".

After watching Night and Fog, then I did finally realized the cruelty that had happened, blockbuster films doesn't show you that, history books couldn't paint the picture. The raw stock images and footages used were gruesome, Stretched to my 16:9 monitor, I was stared by a real corpse, witness bodies being bulldozed.... They didn't made me scared but empty, it was weird, indescribable.

We people living in this age are enjoying and entertained by WW2 exploits, Nazis and Hitler being destroyed over and over again in countless films, and us enjoying it, yes "justice" must be served and of cause we are also entertained to have them back as always to be our central villainous figure. This is awfully similar to how the Nazis influence their citizens into acknowledging the Nazi's cause, I'm not saying that modern films of WW2 exploits are all propaganda because most of them are to milk money, yet they delivers the same kind of messages:
" Our cause is honorable ", " We serve justice " " We are good and they evil ".....
People may argue that the fact is they really are on the good side and films are portraying the fact but that's not the point, the point is what humans are capable of when exposed to all these ideologies, quote from the last stanza of Night and Fog
"Are their faces really different from our own?".
I couldn't cry nor am i enraged when this documentary completes its final stanza, just empty.

PS: You will be imprinted with lots of gruesome images after watching it, the eyes wide female corpse is still vivid in my memory.
