Holocaust
Holocaust
Holocaust...Trapped..Like the fires of Hell,
Destroyed the old and the young
Millions suffered the agony and despair
Holocaust...Covered in bruises,
Scarring the mind and body for life
Letting only the strong survive
The smell of death lingering in the air,
All around people dying,
Dead bodies piled high as mountains
Holocaust...Like an endless path,
Desperate to leave, With no way out
Holocaust..No name, blank faces,
Look past the face,
Eyes like flames screaming to be extinguished
Holocaust...To live is pain
To die is rest
Holocaust...
