The Bottom Line We're doing a project on the Holocaust for English class.. my life is changed forever.
Every day is like endless night, a choking blanket of dull black we sit in piercing silence numb from our biting hunger and abandoned by God Every day is the the one before where seconds are minutes and hours are years and we no longer have a voice we were robbed of our souls Every day is a bigger weight crushing all of our hopes of freedom and rubbing our paper flesh raw we hope to go to sleep and wake from this hell yet we live for the disappointment of reality stale bread crumbs and broken fingers Every day is a new battle to be lost where you're stranded in a sea of limp skeletons and the ashes of your own kin we inhale the bitter air with all intention to give up lulled to sleep by the echoes of screams and the hyena laugh of the barbed wire fence that taunts us Every day is a wicked fairy tale a withered existance like a rose beneath the sand jagged thorns twisted in fleshless limbs by tongues we don't dare understand Every day is spent all alone lying next to a breathless mother who rots by the hands of ignorance and wreckless brutality Every day is a gamble where the wrong turn gets you riddled with metal or a van full of toxic mistrust to be inhaled. Every day is a night. **11 Million people died of the brutal atrocities brought upon the world by Adolf Hitler and his pathetic Nazi clones. This was 2/3's of the Jews living in post World War 1 Europe, or aproximately 6 million innocent people. The other victims of the Holocaust included: the mentally ill and disabled, Gypsies, Jehovah Witnesses, P.O.W's, Slavs, homosexuals and political enemies. The knowledge of the crimes of the men of Hitler will forever be burned into my mind as cruel, unexcusable and down right stupid.. thank you for taking your time to read my review.  |
