Hey, this is a poem by me on the Holocaust, please tell me what you think.
The Holocaust is a very close topic to me and I have learned much about it. It is important to remember what went on so that it will not happen again. Here it is...

Out Of The Dark ~ by me
_____________________________________________________________
The news is circling around
You can’t just sit and wait to be found
Packing upstairs
Ready to run
This could be your last time to see the sun
Down the backstreet
Try and stay up beat
Weight holding you down

Arrive very soon
All locked in one room
Nothing to spare
Must all share
No time to fight
Stay quiet day and night
You have no fear
For you believe the war’s end is near

Time slowly ticks bye
Never has one tear left your eye
Information comes gradually these days
Some of your family has been taken away
But that is just what they say

You wake up one morning
Wishing for the end
Quickly get up and jump out of bed
Wondering what could be going through their heads

You hear commotion from outside
No where to run and no where to hide
Look forward to the times ahead
As you have one last bit of bread
Pounding on the door
You know you are safe no more

Quietly pack
What you have in a small sack
Follow them out the door
At last you can live in uncertainty no more

You take one last look at the sun
Then turn your attention to the barrel of a gun
You see your past and future in each one
And you know that your future doesn’t end right there
You dream about your new life without care

You board the cart about to embark
On your new life out of the dark

Not bad really. I have read so much on that one subject that this can sum up. I wonder if there will be a poem on the trip or life there.

Wow, that is really good! I like to read about the Holocaust because my grandma had to run from it.

I liked the end because a lot of people did have to die by suicide.

yes thank you very much, The end can be inturpereted many different ways now that you mention it, I pictured it as the person was looking at the Nazi's gun, but how you pictured it also is very very true. My grandmother also had to face this horror, she is still alive today and never talks about it because she has lost many family members to it.
