Sacrifice (A Song Of Auschwitz) Poem by Frank Bana

Sacrifice (A Song Of Auschwitz)

Rating: 5.0


I clung to your hips
As they scourged us with whips

I kissed both your eyes
As they shut out the lights

I kneeled by your breast
As they stripped off your dress

I told you my prayer
As they cut off your hair

I gave out my heart
As they dragged us apart

I bargained with hope
As they massed in the smoke

I gave them my name
To keep you from the flames

My interrogation begun
For the life of your son.

Such a delicate and difficult subject to discuss. You've done this admirably and sensitively, as only you could. Bravo Frank! HG: -) xx
