The Holocaust

This is a poem I wrote when we where studying WII in Literature. hope you enjoy.

 

Pale faces of the lost

Innocent people who paid the cost

All their dreams were left crushed

All their humanity swept away in the dust

The survivors were left scarred

No one pictured it would be this hard

Even the one who planned it all

Didn't expect this big of a fall

Pictures were left in their head

Of all the wounded and the dead

Their lives were taken by such a disaster

No harmful drug could have killed them faster

Their future was placed before their eyes

They could no longer hide this disguise

As they watched

The bodies burned

Their stomachs churned

The churches in flames

In the Germans childish games

The hope of many was lost

The ones who paid the cost

Also know as, the Holocaust.
