Burning Memories

The Holocaust burned us with memories and fears These moments where all of my faith had let loose All I could do was hide My dreams turned to ashes the more I thought I would escape So many soldiers looking for what they called Jews Strike after strike Cry after cry Our world was in a state of destruction No one, I mean no one believed they would get out We were weak; we were frail, not only on the outside but inside Everything that kept us going, fighting, was slipping away Minute by minute That moment when I was taken away from mom I knew, I shall never forgive them for this Why would this happen to us I pleaded for God’s help We pleaded for Gods help But we had lost all strength We no longer pleaded for anything Losing faith in God We have lived and endured so much We no longer feared death For God’s sake, where is God? I lost faith, we lost faith We were ready to die We were weak, starving, and hopeless Should we hold on? Should we keep fighting? Or should we choose death? We had decisions to make In the end our thoughts were death, but what about our families? I myself didn’t know whether I wanted the day to go by quickly or not We just wanted to escape, to be free But I had nothing left I wanted God on my side But he was gone I wanted my faith to be strong But how could I when all I saw was disaster Where was God?
