Fight the Light and Live Your Life

The gates closed around us We all cried out for help We knew it was true The Rumors The Gossip The stars we ware on our chests read "Jude" They hold their whips Their guns And knives They shun us all Killing our family We hold on We fight back We are injured "MOTHER" we scream But she lay before us Dead The next day we stand strong and tall We know now what to do That night we crawl Crawl through the hole we will make Make it in the ground That night we dig We dig until we're through They see us and catch us We are through They take us to the gas chambers They strip us down to your nude selves Like we have no shame They open the door and we are forced in The hole in the ceiling opens Screams Dedicated to all of those who died during the Holocaust

A well written poem on a worthy subject. It is a terror what the Nazis did. Thanks for reminding us all.
