Dumped without a conscience
Murdered without qualms
Shot, or gassed in chambers
Children wrenched from mothers arms
The Holocaust , Despicable
Lives nothing but a blight
A canker to be wiped away
What man has any right
To choose who has to live or die
Because they don't fit in
Because they pray a different way
Or don't live life like him
Those innocents who lost their lives
By merely being born
Those families who shared a love
Their hearts so badly torn
Herded like lost cattle
Starved or sent to die
Prayers for all those answers
Tears just wondering Why?
Could man not see the right from wrong
Was he brainwashed to believe
The teachings of a  monster
With a passion to deceive
It's hard to even wonder
What those people did endure
The thought of what they went through
Chills me to the very core
Life is very precious
Regardless of your race
It doesn't put a label on
A different kind of face
We're all in this world together
We must live and choose our way
So let The Holocaust remind us
Each and every blessed day.
