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
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.
