Holocaust


It started with an idea for political change; 
Putting a man in charge who believed in only his way; 
It started small with restricting laws; 
Soon concentration camps were made and millions lost; 


Soon millions turned to more and it wasn't just Jews; 
It could be anybody of any age, even me or you; 
For YEARS continued this massive killing spree; 
No one hearing the helpless pleas;

 
Bodies burned and in silence they screamed; 
This continued until about two years after 1943.

I love to write, though I'm not doing a profession in it. I'm writing a book, and write poetry quite often. I love Harry Potter, Bones, and Supernatural. I believe in ghosts, gay rights, and think society corrupts. This is just a little bit about me :)
