The Ode of Baby

I'm so scared daddy!
"I know baby"
Will they hurt mommy and us?
"I don't know"
I look at the yellow star of David stitched on my cloak
I look at Daddy's and Mommy's and my Bubby's
The line is moving for us now
We walk closer and closer to the men in hats
One's handing out uniforms the other is pointing to a scary room
They speak to us in German
"You! How old is the girl there?"
"7" My daddy says
I wanted to tell my Daddy I wouldn't be seven for another two years
The look my daddy gave me told me to shut my little mouth
"The boy?"
"17"
My bubby burst into tears
My Bubby?
Bubby doesn't cry
Bubby is a big boy of 17, who will be 18 in two months
He has been ecstatic about since he turned 16
"Bubby? I love you"
I gave Bubby my ear- to- ear smile
He looked at me like my old Bubby again
then the man in the hat pointed my Bubby towards the scary room
My Bubby looked terrified
Like he had seen a ghost
My daddy walked with Bubby all the way to the scary room
Mommy burst into tears next
"Mooommmy? They'll be back. Bubby just wanted a uniform, but those men didn't give him one, so he got reeeaaal sad and Daddy went to make him feel better."
Then the man in the hat gave me and my mommy over sized uniforms.
We got into a train car packed full of the star people like me and mommy and daddy and bubby.
As the car started to move the men in hats threw moldy bread halves down into the exposed room, Me and mommy weren't hungry,
but the star people turned into monsters.
Me and mommy were drug into the frenzy
Me and mommy were trampled to death
I died in my mommy's arms
I died content
I couldn't wait to see God in heaven
Mommy said Daddy and Bubby would be there to
Waiting for us to come home
