Koleba,
Although you've been through heaven and hell,
Riches and rags
you've been tortured, beaten, blackened and blue
your family, friends and life; all gone
You survived the age,
this time of pain
you are now set free,
forever in peace
Goodbye, my little butterfly
This was my goodbye poem to the poet I was assigned in class during our Holocaust unit; Koleba was a Jewish poet that faced death along with many others during world war II.
