J10579

Its dark Everyone’s screaming I am reminded of the train ride here Packed in like cattle Standing in our own waste. I am J10579.

Finally, I see the sun But this is not the end They tell us to take our clothing off My long brown hair Gone shaven. I am J10579.

My name is not Sarah any more I am J10579 I am very hungry But fed like a bird. I am J10579

I, along with friends work hard in the fields all day, at night I cry wondering where my family is. I am J10579.

One day we are herded again But this time we know we won’t return. It’s dark, I smell gas Everyone’s screaming Goodbye to J10579.
