Where Did the Bodies Go

Striped clothes Pants, shirts, hats, and shoes Even little shoes of little ones Piled up all together In that gas chamber Once those pants hid inhumanly scars Once those shirts hung loose from skeletons Once those hats covered shaved heads Once those shoes housed bloody feet But now... Striped clothes have no bodies to wear

WOW...The whole poem is riveting but the last line? WOW again! I assume you are referring to the Holocaust here? - Tim
