Poem -

His Jewish Face.

All of a sudden we no longer had names,
A gold star on our coats to make us feel ashamed.
All of a sudden they branded our arms.
Numbers in ink like herds being farmed.
All of a sudden no homes did we own,
What money we had in our coats we had sewn.
All of a sudden no friends that we knew,
Would acknowledge us now they could not know a Jew.
All of a sudden to ghettos were led,
Where we met with starvation no food to be fed.
All of a sudden they came with their tanks,
Their soldiers on foot,
And their high commandants.
All of a sudden as the trains we grew near,
They divided us from the ones we held so dear.
All of a sudden as the trains pulled away,
We knew that on earth this would be our last day 
Then;
All of a sudden because of our chosen race,
We met with Our Lord with his own Jewish face.
