The Holocaust

So I visited the Holocaust museum and then wrote this poem about it....



As I stepped through the door,
Tears filled my eyes.
Looking at the horror.
Seeing Hitler's lies.
He convinced so many people,
that this genocide was right.
He even killed the cripple.
So they'd go down without a fight.

Hitler was a beast. We're not supposed to judge. We are supposed to forgive...to help ourselves have righteous hearts. God will deal with the likes of Hitler for all eternity. Excellent write, Natalie. Congratulations on having your poem featured this week. Keep writing, Love and Hugs, Dane
