My Holocaust Death

Millions of people,
Dieing...
Crying...
I never knew...

Hitler,
He said he would bring us to good lands.
A place where Jews were meant to be...
A place where I Wouldnt bleed.

So he packed us tight...
In a small train.
Not very much room at all,
But just enough to blink.
I must say, there were at least 100 people.. 100 lives...
Crammed so tight.
It was horrible,
This is where I began to feel fright.

The man next to me was sick,
He had nowhere to move,
So.. He coughed it up on me.
And on the others around...
Soon enough his corpse was dead and motionless.
After days and nights of traveling,
We arrived...

The doors opened,
The first thing I will ever remember is the light,
The air...
But it was different here,
The smell of burning flesh was everywhere...
Why though?
I turned to face a sign..
It read :
" Auschwitz Death Camp "
O God, Why me??
I was in Hell now,
And Hitler was the Devil Beast.
I looked around,
Dread thoughts...
I saw people shot,
Gas Chambers...
Bodies on the tracks.
Nothing left of them,
Except their burnt flesh.

I was pushed in line,
With the rest of my small family.
Wife,
And little daughter Emily.
The guard pointed for them to go left...
Left, to the words of Death...
I was to go right,
That was the last time I saw my family...
I held back the tears..
I held back the cry for another life...

Next I was put to work,
To clear the dead bodies from the tracks and the beds...
Days went by,
I became so thin
My bones were punctured at the touch of the wind.

Why cant it just end?
Theres no point in living with no food,
Shelter,
Or life to live again..

It had been 3 weeks without food...
I was too weak...
I fell,
Crushing,
Breaking every bone.
Here the guards came,
Whipping me,
Shoving me to the end of this horrid game.

They took me to a building,
Small... dreadful looking.
Shoved me in with 10 others.
There we sat,
And in what seemed to be hours
Came smoke,
Gas... Poison!
It poured into the room...
I couldnt breath,
I became diseased.
It sucked my body dry,
I died,
Along with the 10 other lives...

From that day,
I was brought to a different chamber.
Where my lifeless corpse was burned to ash...
I fell to the soil,
And on to Heavens Grass.
