Our Man in Europe/now Belize: "We Carve their Names with Pride."
...The HISTORY BOOKS sing of battles & Kings, WITCHBURNERS, Ladies of Medicine, Knowledge, Intuition, Intelligence V. Superstition-Religio, the first Doctors? Their names, in sorrow, carve the SPIRIT with Pride.
Heroines OR Martyrs, Joan of Arc, for their Life's deeds? WE sing of LADIES-FORGOTTEN! Their sacrifice, their MEMORY. We sadly "AVE!" for their lives.
We SING/HUZZAR! for the French Jewish girls, rounded-UP, ushered into train rail cars, then MARCHED by NAZIS-German-uniformed "farm boys" into an ACID-SHOWER-GAS-CHAMBER but - in CHORUS! -singing "Le Marseillaise!" Defiant in their fate!
We carve their HONOR, and ne-er FORGET with Pride.
