suddenly-
it was light and
how could there have ever been dark?
the darkness
faded away- blinded
slithered back into their godforsaken hellholes
-created for the walking skeletons
who carried on

the darkness-
melted into the shadows
momentarily forgotten
but night
a perveresed night
forever haunts the outskirts
of the joy of that day

This is about the Holocaust. And the day the Allied soldiers came to the concentration camps and rescued the people who had been through so much they were barely people.
