Human Cargo.
In the cargo its cramped and small
People range from short to tall
the smell of death evades the air
Nazis loading people with seeming-less care
Separation,Deprivation
Wheels turning, stomachs churning
the taste of fear,sweat and tears
What I have lived for through countless time.
Mortifying sights to see
family memories
ringing in my bleeding ears
Triggering my deepest fears
Sun rays shining through barbed wires
too much time spent in death cars
when will i escape this hell
captivating feelings held
Trapped and caged like a jailbird
Loaded and treated worse than a cattle heard
intense heat keeps us beat
disease and death among me creeps
Bodies close
too close for comfort
but that is least of my worries
Where is this place they are taking me
will I survive or will they break me
emaciated,hunger kills
I'm still alive 'cause my strong will
Sweat dripping down my cheek
the thirst and hunger turn me weak
dust and dirt caked upon us all
the horrendous taste of death still crawls.
