Holocaust

Burning bodies, staring eyes. Smoking chimneys, human cries. Gas chambers for Jews to die. Frozen corpses piled up high. Electric wires inflicting pain. Mass starvation, inhumane. Old aged people, mental cases Skin and bone with human faces. Amputations, detrimental. Unethical, experimental. Too weak to stand, debilitated. Left to die, emaciated. Open graves deceased or not Decomposing humans left to rot. Undignified but freedoms there. The stench of death was everywhere Dentists practicing extractions Gold fillings became distractions. Unfed, unclothed, discrimination. The master plan, extermination. Eradication of a race. Genocide, mankinds disgrace. The Nazi party pursued their aim. As the world averted eyes in shame. 10 / 15 / 2016.

Fantastic poem. Truth, fluidity, movement and action come together to convey the utter insanity and evil of what happened.
