A Few Seconds In Hell

I was thrown into an empty chamber.
A few seconds later.
It was full.
Thousands of us waited to be cleansed.
We were promised new clothes and a hot cup of coffee
Upon leaving the showers that was.
But something didn’t seem right.
Why were these Nazis being so nice?
A hate group
But its us they hate.
Something isn’t right.
The showers turn on and the room fills with steam.
A few seconds later, it happened.
Screams from one part of the room spread fear.
Zyklon B.
The chambers stale air became heavy.
I couldn’t breathe.
I saw them faint.
Everyone of them.
I have fallen, but my head it risen.
May God have mercy on the Nazis.
Everyone of them.
I place my head to the warm floor.
I close my eyes and pray for peace.
That’s exactly what I received.
Peace.
