I am trapt inside this no-man's land
trying to get to the other side
barb wire dreams
and tainted existence
my soul remains inside
All of my dreams are somewhere out there
beyond this yard I am confined
family members tortured
brothers killed
I am the last one of my kind
They were forced to dig their graves
as tears wept from their eyes
they knew it all would soon be over
as they said their prideful goodbyes
Gas chamber bound
and stripped to the flesh
raped, abused and beaten
as everyone else watched
Everyone I knew was taken away from me
as I find myself staring beyond this all
and looking towards the barbed wire fence
looking past everything I saw
My feet take off in full sprint
and my head is screaming with thoughts
everything I ever needed
is right behind this fence
I am almost there
to my safe haven
when gun fire
pierces through air
I am shot down
and stuck here forever
inside this Holocaust hell.
Author notes
option number 3- I chose this because the barb wired fence reminded me of the Holocaust and all the many victims who tried to make it to the other side and were trapt inside the concentration camps. hope you enjoy.
