the world is not a pleasant place
to be without
someone to hold and be held by
a river would stop
its flow if only
a stream were there
to receive it
an ocean would never laugh
if clouds weren't there
to kiss her tears
the world is not
a pleasant place to be without
someone

ReplyDeleteYe s because all of the Nazis were taking the Jews to concentration camps to be put to work and tortured or to be killed. I do not think this could ever happen today because or nation’s authority could easily find out about it.
