It Wasn't Like That



It was like watching a child die
It was like loosing the last photograph of your wife
It was like being abandoned at the age of four
It was like being alone


It was like watching someone screaming
with their cloths on fire
It was like loosing your limbs after stepping on a mine
It was like being tortured for your faith
It was like being alone


It was like watching
naked Jew’s queue for the gas chamber
It was like loosing your family in a car crash
It was like being a virgin, raped in a muddy alleyway
It was like being alone


But it wasn’t like that for them
...
or me
