Their silent sleep

by silhouette fairy   Feb 9, 2006


The shot was heard
it came from you
they are like cattle
just kill them
without any feeling
you look at them like
they aren't human
why should the live
your are superior to them?
you're an animal
they have feelings
beliefs, a heart
you savage
how can you do this
the little children cry
mommies and daddies
killed before their eyes
now they are alone
in this world
to starve and die
one scholars
now bodies in a massive grave
in their silent sleep

*this is about the holocaust, and Schinler's List (movie) tell me what you think*

    Never saw shindlers list, but this is a great poem. its sad and angry at the same time. it is beyond me how people can be so cruel.
