Soul of a Shoe

I once adorned you with style and grace My God this truly is an atrocious place My soul is worn and molded to you This place is so surreal, yet it is true Nothing but pain and fear now fills a face That once polished me with style and grace I now sit here upon this massive pile How in the world can that Nazi smile? As I sit here on this pile lonely and blue I fear to think what has become of you As I sit here upon this pile of deceit I wish I could comfort your feet Regardless of what these Nazi’s do I’m so proud to have been your shoe

Great use of personification, giving life and human feelings to the shoes, MJ. This is a quite compelling description of mankind's darkest hours. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn
