Zera's Room: Notebook: Poetry

Holocaust

The molester of truth
The rape of a race
everyone dies with a smile on
their face.
The masses of bodies
lying aside
the aftermath of genocide.
The echo of laughter
threw the halls
a bullet ricocheting off the walls.
It pierces my heart
straight and true
and I let out a cry too.
As I fall to the ground
I see the pain
a phony grasp on life I claim.
If I can hold on a little longer
It will make my soul grow stronger.
