Holocaust Train Cars Poem by Kellsey Hartmann

I wonder how…
How many days,
Since we ate, drank…
Have seen the sun's rays

I wonder
How much longer
‘til we're free,
And don't have to stand here

How long?
How much
‘til I have
Any food, water, and such?

Each day we stand,
Each day that passes,
More people die,
Lying in masses

Each day that passes
There is more room to sit,
Then lay, on the bodies…
Their hearts all quit

Finally! They open the doors
And those left unload
"faster! Faster! FASTER! "
They all goad

Shortly after
We all lay where we were sent….
The gas chamber…
Where our lives end
