Subtle Holocaust

The womb

Is a train

Headed for Auschwitz

Death camp candy canes

(Sugar coated with concentration)

The birth canal

Is a line

As we come out

Some of us are sent

To the gas chambers

Some of us are sent

To the beds

And we shovel as we wait to die

(“Girls go this way

Boys go this way

Fags to the left

Whores to the right,”)

They assign our numbers

Our labels and we are ushered

Into the grey smoky air

Bald and bare.
