Through the Eyes of a Child

By: Sarah Karstens

Sounds of joy
happy tunes
Dancing faces
Sudden gloom

Swastikas aglow

Said to be human
Whose blood ceases to flow

Sounds of cries

reaching shadows
Attempts to vanish
Hidden faces

Sounds of boots
angry yells
Piercing eyes
Darkness swells

To rest in peace
