My Epitaph

Mindlovemisery's Menagerie
B&P Shadorma and Beyond – The Epitaph 
The challenge is to write our own epitaph.

Here's lies Gail
end of trail swinging
on the gates
heavenward
she's giving the angels hell
no surprise...it's Gail

Shadorma Style...Interment Camps

interment
camps have come before
and again
and again
isolate, confine, condemn
will we ever learn?

There have been many atrocities committed under the guise of war.  Interment Camps were one that many states hosted because of government orders and fear.

Arkansas had two such camps during World War II.  Jerome, AR - Opened October 6, 1942. Closed June 30, 1944. Peak population 8,497  Rohwer, AR - Opened September 18, 1942. Closed November 30, 1945. Peak population 8,475

There were others scattered through out the states.  
May it never happen again!
