Star of David

he stood among the swasticka's a star in the center of chaos and still he couldn't comprehend with ticket in hand for a train that was heavily laden with lost hope he was bound and gagged by religion that was neither practiced or received yet he was convicted by birth advocating his death tears would not save him German words would convict spoken with accents of David yet there would be no slaying of Goliath and so he went without a word in yiddish to ovens readily heated and skin was but butter for German bread he walked among the gentile's and was slain for he was too gentle like a lamb to the slaughter they dined on mutton of Jewish mute evil knows no boundaries for it exerts power and control and those that are complacent will pay the price with life Star of David shone but was covered by German eclipse blocking the glow extinguishing the flame
