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

A chilling yet inspiring write that portrays not only mystery but innocents in the voice. Excellent job.

[The Analog Kid]

Short but very powerful. I watched a documentary about what they did to the men. I can't even fathom the horror. You are a bold poetess:)

[EMMIE]

[faint smile]

this really tugged a string at my heart excellent work it needs to be published

[Clockwork]

This poem really hits home for me. I have Jewish relatives and if you go back far enough I had family members in Europe during this period of time. I have always though of these things as painful reminders of the destructive powers of human beings. Like you write "Striped clothes have no bodies to wear." They have been incinerated by malicious men.

The world gone mad, still it continues . Brother killing brother.Poignant title too and deep.

[R J Askew]

An unbearably sad evocation.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

yes very disturbing but a part of our tragic world history that we as humans must never forget. Excellent.

[Nino James P. Cuestas]

that was disturbing yet also to be a wake up call to those people hid their past to start a new life but letting them remember that their past will be slowly shown by the people who is new to your life.
