The Butterfly Project
It All Depends on How You Look at It
by Miroslav Kosek
Terezin is full of beauty.
It's in your eyes now clear
And through the street the tramp
Of many marching feet I hear.
In the ghetto at Terezin,
It looks that way to me,
Is a square kilometer of earth
Cut off from the world that's free.
Death, after all, claims everyone,
You find it everywhere.
It catches up with even those
Who wear their noses in the air.
The whole, wide world is ruled
With a certain justice, so
That helps perhaps to sweeten
The poor man's pain and woe.
The poem is about Miroslav Kosek inside the Terezin. Writing about Terezin and how people have different perspectives of the Terezin. I understood that there is two side to Terezin which is a “good” side and a “bad” side. That’s what made Terezin the way it was and the way the author wrote the poem, because there are two sides to every story.
