There bodies lay gently beside me

On this cold and dreary morning

The guys came in and grabbed my body

Threw me back without a sound

Tears here do not matter

Just lift that body there won’t be clatter

Throw me in to that ditch

There I know I won’t be hit

Blood will come gushing out

Another blow upside my face

Here I am I will be found

But only by the soldiers

Take me into “the shower”

Make me clean make me better

Poison goes into the stream

A silent death is what I please

My thoughts will mingle with my tears

A resting place is where I’ll live

Tell my mother I’ll miss her so

This is hard I know

But my choice is made

Please don’t take the road I did

I will live in a place where my pain will be no more

No more screaming no more shots no more pain

In this little place in that little plan

Called the Holocaust.
