They took my blood and ethnic group, they did. My soul was skulking, knowing of the strains If I have no visa,they’ll get mad Reading my thick newspaper was sad Seeing them deporting love again They took my blood ,my heart and I feel bad Water has no salt whereas blood has And losing it will cause a lot of pain If we have no visas, oh dear God. The water circulates; we’re almost dead So when we’re shot there’s no red blood to stain They looked for human souls and then they bragged The Jews, the gays the helpless .felt cold dread And who resists now Fascism rides again? We scream when we’re asleep,oh helpless God. We invented torture,prison, shame Were God here he’d hear the frightened groans They took my ethnic group and stole my blood Now they call me ” other”, ain’t life sad?
Day: August 11, 2019
In my dream, I gave birth to a child
In my dream, I gave birth to a child
The doctor said that he would die quite soon
My feelings overwhelming made me wild
The Nazi doctor threw him on a pile
I lay there unmoving as I keened
In my dream,I gave birth to a child
A week passed by,I knew that death beguiled
Frozen lips made no sound, song or tune
My feelings overwhelming made me wild
I had to rise and say my black goodbye.
My baby with the others;horror loomed
In my dream I gave birth to a child
I picked him up , when suddenly he smiled
I held him to my breast, my songs I crooned
My feelings overwhelming drove me wild
I had to carry him, the landscape gloom
A desert grey aand rocky like some moon
In my dream I gave birth to a child
In terror I had walked yet love consoled
How my heart sings
