A poem I created a while ago based on the holocaust
Broken Silence
It was as usual, the sounds of pawns and dice
Family time together at eight o’ clock precise
Outside was cold, still and silent
But all changed in one night when it became violent
Shots rang out and it was silent no more
Looking for and answer, my brother crashed out the door
The body found was wounded, cold and pale
He did not move he was dead, “Dead as a doornail”
Fake Ploeg was his name
And murdering was his game
Like his victims, he ended up the same
But for us, his death we were to blame
His body was deposited in front of our home
Brother trying to do something about it…was left alone
Then the Germans came and we were maltreated
Indefensible with no chance to escape we submitted
Helpless with the dice on my hand, and speechless with nothing to say
The night was disturbed as they said, “Take them away”
My family vanished with the fascist regime
And I was left alone like if I was “Lost in a dream”

That is a very good poem. Did you ever visit the Holocuast Museum? I went there for my senior trip, it was an experience I will never forget. <3 Lindsey
Wow you went there for your senior trip??? We went to Disneyland. How did you all end up at the holocuast museum.

I think that's how you know you're a writer.... when you can put yourself into someone else' s life and "shoes" and yet evoke such a strong emotion. Keep it up... I enjoyed this poem very much.
p.s. i wanna go to the museum so bad!
It was a nice smooth poem that I think reflected very much how the main point of view was thinking. I think some of the tones were a little modern, but thats fine. Otherwise I really liked it and can't wait to see what else you decide to post!
Cheers,

Thats a really good poem. THis topic has always been interesting to me because the events during the holocaust are so unbelievable! Who on earth does that!
Interesting way of words to express your views.

That was a very well written poem. The topic of the holocaust is a hard one to tackle sometimes for it's touchy roots, and I can only salute you for trying. Looking forward to more from ya!

That was a very well writen poem. I read "the diary of Anne Frank" and the story and events I will never forget.
HE is the way, the truth, and the life.
