Sitting in a room
I'm trapped between these walls.
I've sat here patiently
hearing pleading calls.
I'd help them if I could
although I've never tried.
I know my time will come
so it's no use to hide.
I have the Star of David
stitched on all my shirts.
The Nazis torture us
in every way it hurts.
The soldiers grab my bony arm
along with my other friends.
We've been here long enough
this is when our pain ends.
Inside a darkened room
our clothes are all disposed.
Something is dropped inside
and then the window is closed.
Panic is all around
everyone gasps for air.
We climb on one another
our bodies are all bare.
Finally with my last breath
I have reached the top.
Collapsing on my dead friends
I know my heart will stop. (circa 2005)
