I Refuse To Die - an Original Stephen Nasser testimony poem
Location
Many feel sorrow in his eyes
As I too wittiness a reprise
In death in not knowing
Whether or not his family would be showing
Searching the dark for a burning ember
But trying hard not to remember
He had nothing left to borrow
To see the Holocaust makes me feel sorrow
To know what people then went through
As the murdering of his Aunts' baby brain by the Nazi Crew
Those sons of guns paid for their blood lust
And those who survived the holocaust we all trust
He tried not to faint, but the memory lingers still
After his brothers death he'd be fulfilled
To see peace and comfort but only to be sent to the death room
He knew it was safe to assume
That by doing the impossible, eating a wood pole
He'd get out of there instead of being cremated into coal
Sitting in the death room
A guard soon brings him humane food
He'd not be sent to his doom
But, by gave guard some gratitude
He entered a train with a-many
Soon on their way to be executed
"I refuse to die"
Says Stephen Nasser
I see that his story lives in me
And many others that come to see
That this part of history
Is something that shouldn't repeat
Something that should never be
