CC Poem Blog Post #4

The Journey
By CC Cooksey


Auschwitz
Ruled by delusion
Veiled by despair
Long forgotten the taste of tears
Madness had infected all of us
Forever


Birkenau
Warning! Danger of death
You are good for the ovens
Save us!


Abandoned by the whole world
I suffer hell in my soul and my flesh
All they could utter was one word: “Evacuation”
Escape
A dance of death

Words and phrases from Night by Elie Weisel
