Flames
They bleed
They cry for mercy
They do not get
The flames start
Taken for their homes
Taken for their lives
Taking their precious memories
The flames start out small
Work till they fall
Work till they are sick
Work till they die
The flames are medium
Shot for the fun
Shot for elimination
Shot for being who they are
The flames reach for the sky
To ash
To dirt
To dust
To decay
To bones
Lives lost
Some saved
But forever changed
Screams of the silent
The sounds of the dead
The crays of children long since silence
But we remember
We care
The flames to god
For that is where good souls lie
No longer the screams of the silence
No longer the sound of the dead
No longer the cries of children long since silence
Only if one forgive
Only if one remembers
Then none of them have died
The name taken
The lives spent
Forever the flames lies with God
To the lives lost at the camps.
