Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

Bombs dropping, lives taken,
Those that lie down, don't awaken,
War is here, let alone fear,
Oh Jews, flee the land because they're near,
Nazis come and threaten homes,
Children cry for Sherlock Holmes,
Why oh why do these people do this?
Things that they do, here's what it is:
Snatching, grabbing children from a place,
Shooting the others, in a strange pace,
Everything taken, gone except for one thing,
No one leaves the world without a little spring,
Soon they will leave the universe but one little chance,
They've been through this, but have room to enhance,
The spring, I say, has a pearl,
My friend, the spring, has the life of a little girl.
