Post #4 Ewald, Found Poem

Burned
The Nights were Cold,
Dark
It was around midnight.
Everybody was outside.
Watching a Fire burn
As The Night passed by.
The Fire
It Burned faster.
Disappearing into the night sky.
Much Like those innocent lives taken
Without Reason.
And Now It Spreads
Finding New places to Go


To run
Taking lives needlessly.

Mourning the lives of the innocent Jews
