They are peering in windows
Breaking down doors
They are searching for your families
They will take yours.

The rain crashes down
Frightening us more
We never ever want to see
Their malevolent punishment and gore.

They are peering in windows
Breaking down doors
They are searching for your families
They will take yours.

When the door crashes down
As the rain crashes down
The men come crashing down
They have put us in damnation
They call us the worst creatures
Of this generation.

They know who we are
We are the six legged star.

It is about the Holocaust, Six Legged Star meaning Star of Saint David. Also, I can't stand that I can't pick out my own pictures for my poems. The one I picked off the website is the best I could do.
