Tale of the Sprinter- by Sudeep Pagedar

I am an athlete from Berlin,

my feet are fast and swift.

I can run faster than anyone!

Truly, this is the Lord's gift!

Any race I participate in,

I always come in first,

for I tell myself, "I HAVE to win";

it is like a great thirst.

Even if someone, somehow passes me,

I put on an extra burst of speed

and run past him, leaving him behind;

thus, I take the lead.

I once thought, "If I keep running this way,

I might be in the Olympics, some day..."

THE PRESENT -

But now the year is nineteen-thirty-eight

And for my dreams, it's just too late.

My running days are all gone,

I'm not going to see tomorrow's dawn.

Yes, it is true

that I can run very fast;

But it is also true

that I am a Jew...

There's no running, from the Holocaust.
