Gates of Death
This is a poem that I have written about from the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel.
"I am the way to your death
I am the way to never ending night
I am the way to eternal sleep
Behind my doors the air will smell of your flesh
You will feel the burn of my flames upon your skin
You will hear the screams of death beckoning to you
You will taste rotten flesh in the air
You will watch as loved ones slip into darkness
Choose how long you live or end your life now
Choose your death: by gasing or be shot
Make friends or choose survival
How long can your mind go untouched
May you be hanged by my gallows
Burn in my chimneys and turn to ashes
Die of sickness or starvation
Enter my thresh hold and abandon all life
Welcome, to my gates of death"
