War

Silent whisper of the jews

A verbal list of don't and do's

They stood out when they wanted to hide

In the star of david they confide

Beaten, taunted, living under curfew

Why's it such a crime to be labeled a 'jew'?

Tales of ghettos, experiments and gore

Hitler's insanity is what caused this war!

Experiments on women, pregnant in bed

Babies mutated, four arms and no head.

Encamped prisoners hear news of warm showers

Deprived of which from long day's hours

As the door locks, their hearts fill with dread

Not showers, a gas chamber instead.

Babies in the furnace, dead bodies on the ground

Starved and helpless they can't make a sound

The horrors of their lives will never heal

I don't know how people can say this wasn't real

It cost some their lives, freedom, and more

For me - it's easy to hate the word war.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this back when I was reading a lot about the holocaust. Someone told me that a lot of people say it never happened. Bullshit. 2002

Wow... I had an obsession with nazis and the holoucaust[I know I spelled that wrong] at one point. It was just so interesting to me.
