Night of Broken Glass

dedicated to the Victims of the Holocaust

Dark is the night
I hear your heartbeat
In the room there is no light

Fire in the night
I hear them marching
Your boots are brown

Glass in my thoughts
Hear the fear in this night

Shrill screams shattered
I do not hear your heartbeat
Why is the light so bright in the room
