Auschwitz- Belzec- Buchenwald- Dachau…………

Inspired by Jai Masters powerful poem “the living gone”

The G.I.’s arrived at many camps, to free the Natzi’s slaves;

These war scarred soldiers who fought so hard, then saw the ghastly graves!

Where humans laid thrown in like trash, their faces in terrors’ fear;

These grown men who had enured themselves, now wept with open tears!

The ones not dead were barely alive, a mass of skin and bone;

Their saviors gave them food and clothes, said “You no longer are alone”!

They rounded up the Commandants, and said, “Fill these graves, now dig”;

“If you don’t our mighty rifles, will blow holes in your heads big”!

The survivors started gaining weight, and somehow they would smile;

To thank their heros who had saved them, from the monsters that said “Heil”!

Many had lost their sacred kin, siblings, parents, children, wives;

But remarkably they found the strength, to continue with their lives!

Some made their way to Palestine, others went all around the world;

They told their stories of the Holocaust, how such tragedy unfurled!

Most of them aren’t with us now, but we still have a treasured few:

That make sure the world will e’er remember, what evil men can do!
