    Red River

    the train was too late
    by foot it was too far
    the river too nearby
    the hatred too strong
    bullets through your head
    river of blood
    red Danube
    dead Budapest

    It bothers me that nowhere is the word “Jews” mentioned, just the vague term “the victims” of the Arrow cross… Why is this? Something wrong here.. in modern Hungary..
