lost voices

Hey guys this is a poem I have to write for my finals on the Holocaust. I understand it's a bit of a touchy subject so I hope I don't offend anyone.

All controlled like mindless puppets
Most controlled out of fear of breaking their strings
It's a thing called blind obedience for it costs many things
These puppets march to the sound of trumpets

They watched as their masters hurt those around them
Those puppets stood by their masters
Just standing there , just being bystanders
They followed and listened there masters praise like a gem

Though some had an individual conscience but refused to act
They were afraid no one would stand with them
Feeling their morals were wrong and need to be mend
They all stood down to blend in with the pact

Sadly those who stood up their voices were lost
For the ones that didn't were much louder
They stood over the ones that did, for they seemed to tower
There ignorance caused others their lives for they were the ones that paid the cost

When their masters fell from power they realized their mistake
For their Master's morals were wrong and filled with hate
No longer puppets they feel guilty for sealing many people's fate
For they now see that they put many lives at stake

Now ready to repent for the lives they took
They bury those who have fallen and this event they will never forget
Now their guilt for not stopping it now set
For this event, the whole country it shook

I hope u guys liked it. Till next time.
