A Poem by wordman
5438079
This was the number burnt into her arm
as her grandmother was telling her
that every thing would be all right.
Don`t cry she would say every thing
will be okay tomorrow will be a better day
as they were herded toward the train
Poor Mr. Kurtz was shot for not boarding
just do as they say my grandmother would say
tomorrow every thing will be ok
But I could see the fear in her eye`s
often I would see her cry,we were
separated from my parents at the last camp
Grandmother says we will be together soon they won`t tell us where we are going but it`s cold on this train
we have no food to eat but grandmother
has some bread hid in her coat it`s food she would say
When we arrived at the camp it was a nightmare
some people had no clothes and they looked as if
they were being starved to death and they
huddled around each other to keep from freezing
A smile came over grandmothers face when she
saw my father and brother but my momma
wasn`t there my grandmother and father cried
they would beat us and kill the old people
don`t worry about me she would say
They killed my father and brother they took me away
my grandmother was put in the gas chamber
I heard the people say
But one morning soldiers came in with food
and blankets just like my grandmother would say
but she never got to see this day...
wow, how sad...yikes...Pam
Wow this is really a great peice of work, seems to be a lot of meaning in it. Great job =)
