Who can say and feel and see?
What is 6 million?
Who can fathom it?
What is 1 million?
It’s 10 x 100,000.
What is 100,000?
It’s 10 x 10,000.
What is 10,000?
It’s 10 x 1,000.
And so it goes…
1,000 made up of
10 x 100
and
10 x 10
and
10 x 1 … one, ah
It’s one, living and breathing
laughing and weeping
longing and yearning
hurting and helping
individual – one breathing,
in the end, it’s One
created in God’s image
in His image He created it, One!
Can you fathom it?
Now you know what 6,000,000 are made of:
It’s one, 6 million times – it was.
Now can you see?
Now you know?
Now you know!
One living, breathing – not any more.
