Ann Frank

A child should not need to hide
with death a constant evil ride
silver specks of april moon
death was knocking at your door

A little girl of sweet sixteen
with love the taste of romance keen
a child of a different age
the building was her hidden cage

Father mother locked in fear
I think there was a fat man there 
a young one hidding in the walls
life created, men and fools

Genicide, atrosities, contemptable
how can we treat a human sweet 
judges, soldiers, men of grace
How could you build this devils place

A father watched his little girl 
growing up inside these walls 
watched her taste her first romance
watched her fear without a chance

The soldiers of the german war
What theory's are worth dying for
The science of the time did speak
and say they wanted strong not weak

The arian race  the perfect man
not so perfect evil plans 
a father watched his little girl
taken by the soldiers van

A father watched his childs life
swallowed by the nazi fight
A father watched his little one
stolen from her life of fun

A father watched his little one
stolen from his arms and sun 
into the nazi camps of death
his wife and Daughter into hell

He survived but not his child
he survived but not his wife
the dairy that, his child wrote
shows the dark and evil state
