The movie, 'The Pianist' which is based on the biography of Wladyslaw Szpilman- Jewish- Polish musician is what inspired me to write this poem. May this be a tribute to him, who survived the holocaust of Second World War.
I hope and pray that the world will not have to witness such a dreadful massacre ever again.
World wars,
Source of woes,
Unveiling the darkness of mankind,
Humanity is left behind.
Out of chaos, appears a man,
A pianist from a Jewish Clan,
Nazi Germany's destruction plan,
Genocide, Slavery, Death began.
Off walks the pianist through Berlin streets,
Through dusty roads, scattered corpses,
With misty eyes and a paining heart he retreats,
In a dark corner of his heart, hopes for a better life remains.
Once in the ghetto and then the labour camp,
Soulless he lives in a damp,
Deprived of his music and the warmth of his kin,
He silently prays for the end of war's sin.
