Holocaust

Holocaust

Holocaust...Trapped..Like the fires of Hell,
 Destroyed the old and the young
 Millions suffered the agony and despair
 Holocaust...Covered in bruises,

 Scarring the mind and body for life
 Letting only the strong survive
 The smell of death lingering in the air,
 All around people dying,

 Dead bodies piled high as mountains
 Holocaust...Like an endless path,
 Desperate to leave, With no way out
 Holocaust..No name, blank faces,

 Look past the face,
 Eyes like flames screaming to be extinguished
 Holocaust...To live is pain
 To die is rest

 Holocaust...
