Memories
A Holocaust poem
By; Sydney St. Fleur
Days go by, after my parents said goodbye
They left me behind.
They said i’m safe with my aunt for she will take care of me
Is this what happens to Jews
Because I am one too
What will I do, if i’m taken away too
What will I do when nobody can not do anything
The knocks on my door turn into locks breaking
Door falling, wall shaking..
My body is aching
Arms pulled..How could we be fooled
It’s in our eyes to see
Hitler is not a game you see
My parents are gone and so is my friend
I guess this is my journey’s end
Tears hit the floor as i’m being jerked
Tossed into a car
All ever wanted is gone
so all I have is my memories to depend on
I think of my mother when people are staring
I think of my father when people are caring
And I think of my family because i’m leaving
Life about end, I thought they were caring
Die without trying is a state I don’t want to live in
I need to keep my last name alive, without any mistakes
Gunshots fill the air
I’m just realizing I am scared
The guards growl as I ask for help through the window
In Auschwitz, here we are
Home is so far
No escape around the corner
Everybody dying
Am I next
Where are we going, I want to know
They just hurt me deeply so
They walk me over to a wall
I cried so hard
Gunshot,
Woman crying, Guards laughing
and i’m dying
I lay on the floor heartless
Just like guards who took my life
I have a heart it’s not beating
Hitler doesn’t have that part..
It’s gathering dust
Like my body that has been left on the floor
To rot.
I never said goodbye
Goodbye
To all the Jews who never got to say goodbye
