the smell of death makes me want to vomit
the screams are hurting my ears
why are they doing this to us?
we haven't done anything to them
nothing at all
so why do they hate us so much
the killing won't stop
they don't really care who you are
whether you're a woman, man, or child
they'll kill you anyway
the camp is full of people like me
people who believe like me
who think like me
well most of them do
some of them have gone crazy
looking for their families
what kind of monster would do this
kill us off one by one
not listening to our pleading cries
not listening at all
finally
a nice bath
the men in the green uniforms
with the red armbands
take us to a room
with showers
everyone is so happy
then the men leave
we hear something
a hiss maybe
then all of a sudden we all feel really sleepy
and now i know i will never wake from this sleep
the sleep they put me in
just because of a man
a man who wanted power

Oh wow Porsha this is a REALLY good piece! I can tell you're talking about the Holocaust and everything... the imagery is really good and I feel like i'm actually there. Well done!

I'm going to have to agree with myself on this one.
