POEM

by Kevin Cruz





It’s a cold night in Germany 1942
When the Nazis come what’re you planning to do
You can no longer escape
It is very unfortunate but sadly it is too late
You have to run away and your possessions you can’t take

You ask yourself why? Why do you go through this?
Now you’re surrounded by lots of ignorance but can’t seem to find the bliss
What happened were your selections but you don’t know which
Maybe you would know if you could plan out and not just pull the switch

I’m trying to explain but you just won’t understand
The man ruling your country isn’t a reliable man
Thanks to him you’re going through misery thanks to him you begin to cry
Thanks to him you’re all alone and to your relatives can’t say goodbye

Many of you are lost and surrounded with despair
Sadly those that rule you don’t even seem to care
Again you gave them that power so it is all your fault
And your pain is a secret to the world locked inside a vault
