I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty. https://andresruizc.github.io/andresr/posts/charlotte_poem/ Tue, 07 Feb 2023 22:23:18 +0100 https://andresruizc.github.io/andresr/posts/charlotte_poem/ You who are passing by I beg you Do something Learn a dance step Something to justify your existence Something that gives you the right To be dressed in your skin in your body Learn to walk and to laugh Because it would be too senseless After all For many to have died While you live Doing nothing with your life Auschwitz survivor Charlotte
