Poem 4
Holocaust by Bullet
Read by Marlene
0:00 / 1:59
Hear me, oh hear me
One voice to speak for many
Lost souls, no one to mourn for us
To say Kaddish for us
The good, the bad, the pious and impious
Young, old, man, woman, child
No discrimination
In this congregation of death
Frozen here for eternity
In a dose embrace that locks our bones
Our souls, oh yes our souls
Held in this place of terror and horror
Waiting on the edge of pits
Dug with our own hands
For death, extermination
No chance to hold your loved ones in your arms
To comfort
Ripped from life by bullet, and blind hatred
Our souls never finding their way home
Still here, held in those final moments
We have vanished from life
As if we never were
No names, no memories remain
Of who and what we were
But hear this plea and
Pray that these countless souls
Will find their way to peace
Their torment ending
Pray for us all
The victims and those souls scarred and mutilated
By the deeds that brought us here
That healing grace may release us and
With eyes opened
Will see the light
Which will take us home
To peace and freedom
Be this out witness
A witness to our existence and extermination
Hear this one voice speaking for us all
HEAR US
