And...

This poem was in response to an English assessment task. It's one of three poems but this one was graded (A , woot). It refers to the Nazi Holocaust and the Jews. Maybe the best, but not my favourite. If you have any questions or don't quite understand, please give me a buzz.

And… (by max)

And so we stumble blindly

And we have no eyes to see

And we have no fists to fight with

And we have no voice to plea

And we struggle, so in vain

And our numbers dissipate

And bindings seem to tighten

And our lives are filled with hate

And we haven’t seen our loved ones

And we miss them everyday

And our bindings seem to tighten

And our bodies start to fray

And our minds unravel also

And we weep, but silently

And our bindings seem to tighten

And we know we’ll not be free

And we’re herded up like cattle

And we’re shuffled into rooms

And then our bindings loosen

And our souls are all consumed
