Holocaust Poem by Carmela Kazmier

The pain of yesterday
has since gone
and faded away.
No more tears.
No more fears.
It; s over at last
but for sure not forgotten.
The things that were done
are awful and rotten.
Dictators cruel,
Jews overruled.
No mercy is given.
Not even to women.
Pushed into chambers
that fill up with gas
how can we fight
such a dreadful past?
Men to the left
women to the right
holding on
with all of their might.
Year's of torture and pain
under a dictator's reign.
Bodies so skinny
that every bone shows.
No one to tell
and no place to go.
No way to escape
except maybe to run
But then they will catch you
and you will be done.
Lives were lost
many forgottten
but that day
will live on forever
in memory of those
who stood up
and fought together
