Holocaust Concentration Camp

You hear the sound of those around you dying,
nothing you can do but listen.
Listen, wait, and wonder
when your time will come.

Loved ones taken away,
you never know if you'll see them again.
People being dragged to death,
to the fire of no return.

You can hear the sounds of gunfire
echoing through your dreams.
Wondering when a bullet
will take you away from this place.

You hear a child crying,
asking were his mommy is
and you can do nothing but watch
as he falls into the black abyss.

Wanting nothing but death,
but fearing it still.
All you can do is wait
until they make you the kill.

Every night before you sleep
you hope never to wake up again,
because the next day will be the same,
with sound of shattered dreams.

The only thing left that means anything
is a small pocket watch
given to you by your father,
who last night was sent to the poison chamber.

You hold on to it and cry,
wondering why you cant just die.
Then the soldier takes it away,
the only thing to do is fall apart.

The sound of a serian fills the air.
The Americans have finally made it here,
they liberate the camp and save the day.

-----------------------------

Now you know why you didn't die.

It is your point in life to spread the message of those who lost there lives.

So that is now your point in living.

Dedicated to those who lost there lives during the Holocaust. May they all rest in peace.
