Tragic Life

TRAGIC LIFE / TRAGIC DEATH ~ A Holocaust Story The odds were stacked against us With hearts that beat so strong Our only crime was loving God Please tell me how that's wrong The soldiers beat the wooden door As my mom began to cry I've never seen my dad so scared And I wasn't sure just why We ran fast, and then we hid For I know it seemed like years We carried with us nothing Except paralyzing fears The soldiers, when they found us They screamed "We found the Jews" We knew we couldn't fight If we did, we'd only lose They took us to a place The place was called "the camp" We were each assigned a number Which on our arms was stamped My mother and my father Both grew very thin They soon became just a shell Of who they once had been And then one day I lost them To a room suffused with gas They took most of my people And murdered them in mass Millions of the chosen lives Senselessly were lost At the hands of one called Hitler And the tragic HOLOCAUST!!
