CHILDHOOD MEMORY | FROM YESTERDAYS | GESTAPO | JEWISH BED | WHY NOW

WHY NOW
by
Suzan Herben

    There is some thing wrong inside
    I can't get away from it
    Sometime I wish
    I'd died.

    I am not good I just survived
    Outside a woman of sixty
    Inside hiding
    A child of less than five.
