standing emancipated
suffering Mengele's obsession
an unsterilized scalpel
peeling away skin
with religious zeal
cries falling upon deaf ears
in piles with teeth
screaming in horror
anesthetizied
by Nazi madness...
Chromed blade promptly
With adroit, raw incisions
Separates toxic, mounting mass
Unsterilized weeping fears
Tourniquet burnt
By caring eyes separated
Self-victimization
Flooding the dark room
With febrile infectious tears
Incessant wakened hours pass
The phantom poison
Remains flowing
