Holocaust Survivors (Just Liberated) MAG
June 4, 2014
Eyes so hollow you saw right through
their story and into their soul.
Mouths so thin, the pictures they drew
left me feeling less than whole.
Some were tense, radiating fear,
others too tired to hold up their heads.
All showed their history clear
the memories they carried, the dread.
They told me their prayers, their cries
sobbed silently at night
as they told their children the lies
that everything would turn out all right.
Can you hear the whispers pierce the air
as the voices rise of those who dare?
