The Train To Nowhere Poem by alan brown

A heartrendering depiction has been made about holocaust through a train journey. I quote..... Beside me sat another with head bowed to the floor The car was full of strangers I counted ninety four. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.10

The scenery passed by slowly as I sat on the hard wood chair My bones were aching badly but no on seemed to care.--- Fantastic

An excellent poem with wonderful narrative, rhyme, theme and a great title. A huge 10 for this and into my poemlist.

This poem evokes the painful images of train journey through the holocaust days in the enemy territory. This is extremely poignant. Thanks.

Part One- An important topic and your poem respected the loss of lives in that horror. I like the progression of the poem- at first I thought it was a train ride- possibly to work.....then hard wooden chair? I stopped reading and puzzled over that... then thought perhaps a third world train..

.Part Two- - hands tied and tethered, feet bare and cold? I paused and dread built up inside me- capture of enemy combatants or.. or the Holocaust... then that last stanza- -how my heart hurt that the poor man thought it would be better at the destination... Excellent write.10+++++++++++ and a spot on y fav list.
