Array ( [sid] => 90804 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => J437513 [time] => 2005-04-13 08:50:08 [hometext] => this poem is not something that happened to me personally, but rather something that happened to 6 million others. this one's for them. the survivors and the ones who were not strong enough to survive. [bodytext] => J437513
this is the number
tattood on your arm
it lies there every day
waiting for you
waiting for when someone calls out to you
what is your name
your old name is lost
now you are J437513
this is the number
that witnessed the millions of people
who died at your feet every day
J437512
that is the number of the girl who came before you
who was killed for the fun of it
now it is only you
J437513
you are alone in the world
working for your life
watching your friends and family leave you
till one day it is not enough
J437513
you are not good enough for them
so they make you leave
and they make sure that you are never seen again
but those who were strong enough
will carry on and remember you
they will remember what happened
to J437513
you and them combined
are the ones who will make the difference [comments] => 2 [counter] => 213 [topic] => 39 [informant] => lost13 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

Great poem.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
