between deliverance and a soft spot

            I arrived early to the feast
Wasn’t quite sure if there would be any meat
But I stood in line like the rest
Patience is a virtue and I have none I do so attest
Wasn’t sure if I would get food to eat 
            I arrived early to the feast

I looked down at my nasty feet
The others like me bore the same creed
A yellow star of  David hung loose around my neck
Wish I had some glue that would work the best 
Those of us standing in line tried not to weep 
             I arrived early to the feast 

The babies had been murdered surreal as it seemed
I wish this nightmare was over and it was all  a bad dream 
The person in front of me hid a morsel of food
Dread and agony for us Jews 
Freedom would come when we all are deceased 
             I arrived early to the feast 

Liberation would eventually come
When the Americans overpowered the Germans
The nazies are a dangerous murdering breed
I hope they all are destroyed and sou no more seeds 
The lucky ones were finally released 
              I arrived early to the feast
