Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day

April is a great many things it appears (who would've known) - it is poetry month. It is anti-TV time too, oddly enough (after all, with the abundant "soft rains of April", should we not stay indoors? What else are we to do indoors? Hmm, okay, don't answer that...) And it is also the time for a whole lot of remembrance as well... Remembrance of the Holocaust.

As if all that April rain mirrored the tears shed for the deceased.
All the pain and all the torment...
All the anguish... and all the sense of loss that is so painful to bear.
All the suffering... whether it is deemed necessary or unnecessary suffering...

No matter how abundant these rains are, they are neither soft nor apt to wash away the stench of death that lingers on long after the passage of the grim reaper.

Incidentally, Yom Hashoah -Holocaust Remembrance Day- is also Yom Hazikaron -Israel Independence Day... Personally, I would have had separate commemorative days, but that's just me and I am not Jewish!

April 25th is also Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand; when "the whole of Australia (is involved) in solemn ceremonies of remembrance, gratitude and national pride for all men and women who have fought and died in all wars".

ANZAC was the name given to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey early on the morning of 25 April 1915 during the First World War (1914-1918).

All of April has been a month of remembrance for me this year.
The rain has been abundant too.
Drowning sorrow... or making it worse.
In the end, what does it matter? Nobody gives a damn. Nobody cares. And no one matters!

This may yet be my final blog post.
Time will tell...

That was inspired, Fern.

Praise Jehovah -as a dear cousin of mine would say- that I did come back to my blog in order to publish your comment... and some more posts, of course.

For, when I typed the words "this may yet be my final post", I meant it.

God -or G-d, as you type it- Has other plans for me, I suppose.

God Has plans for us all.

Blessings
