The Dying Jew

The travesty of World War Two
should stay fresh in our mind.
It was our darkest hours,
the worst of us, mankind

The horrors of the Nazis,
Committing genocide
Capturing and murdering Jews
Who could neither run nor hide

There was no one who would save them
So the Nazi's plans moved on,
The Jews must be exterminated
Till they are all gone

They were forced into ghettos
A heaven in their hell
A quiet place to live and work
A simple fragile shell

So there they lived in semi-peace
till that infamous day,
When the Jews were rounded up
and taken far away

To the horrid death camps
where many would later die
In barracks and in gas chambers
Which were seen with God's Blind Eye

As they arrived they saw a sign
That "Work will set you free"
They knew that this was quite a lie
But still chose not to see

Conditions were quite horrid
But still the Jews held strong
As they marched to death
They'd sing a solemn song

But in the camp of Plaszow
For the Polish Jew
A man named Oskar Schindler
Saved a fortunate few.

He bribed and paid commanders
To look the other way
So he could build a prison
to allow his Jews to stay

His was held a legend
Just like Ra, or Zeus
He lied to all the leaders
and pulled a clever ruse

So he spent all of his money
To save all of his friends
The Jews he lived and worked with
lived to see the end.
