inspired by the holocaust
Trapped inside this chamber
No comfort for the weak
Left behind and so alone
The outcomes looking bleak
Little children cry for food
There is no shelter here
Disbelieving this dismal fate
Lost everything I once held dear
I can’t believe the sky’s still blue
Just beyond these make-believe walls
I remember the days when grass was green
And people heard my pleading calls
They locked the gate then lost the key
Forever here we shall remain
Our spirits rot and waste away
The ashes washed away by rain
Waiting for the sanctuary
That seems so far away
At last the sun is fading
On my final tortured day
No comfort for the weak
Left behind and so alone
The outcomes looking bleak
Little children cry for food
There is no shelter here
Disbelieving this dismal fate
Lost everything I once held dear
I can’t believe the sky’s still blue
Just beyond these make-believe walls
I remember the days when grass was green
And people heard my pleading calls
They locked the gate then lost the key
Forever here we shall remain
Our spirits rot and waste away
The ashes washed away by rain
Waiting for the sanctuary
That seems so far away
At last the sun is fading
On my final tortured day
