Can they not see that darkness inside him or the future soon to come When the Jews of Germany cry 'Run, my children, run!'? No, they only see his pride As he gives his little speech About how he will go around And give power to the weak Soon this man will be known By the darkness in his eyes The threats beneath that cold malicious Smile that is too bright Soon this man will be heard of In history books that say 'How could we have ever trusted this man, so unbelievably insane?' But for now we all watch him And listen to his plans Until the Jews start crying Dying by his hand |

History is written by the winners, and although the holocaust was ugly and brutal, Germany's hand in it was just as extreme. The Russians killed and discriminated against the Jewish people, while keeping their image good by swapping sides and attempting to liberate the German concentration camps on a later date. There have also been far worse genocides (specifically in the Middle East\Africa)... all in all a good poem and well written. |
