Who Am I Now?
Who am I
If I don’t have a name
But a number?
Who am I
If the star on my arm
Makes me smaller?
Who am I
If cattle are treated
Better than me?
Who am I
If my family, I,
Will never see?
Who am I
If monotony rules
And I live it?
Who am I
If they told me to work
And I did it?
Who am I
If I take orders from
Only a few?
Who am I
If, at death, they’ll say I’m
Only a Jew?
