Reign Of Terror

How did he conjure the idea

that he could change the Human Race?

That man with hair and eyes so dark

and a pallid sallow face.

 

What motivation did he feel

when he claimed six million souls?

What gave him the right to seal

the fate of inhuman goals?

 

Blond hair, blue eyes and rosy glow

thats how mankind should be.

Illumination and salvation

excuses, for atrocity.

 

He shed his mortal skin

when at last he was defeated.

Not from fear of Godless sin

and the chaos he'd created.

 

The sound of six million cheers,

raised in unison,

still echo down the endless years

to the depths of his crimson prison.

I stood by the barbed fencing of one many years ago Dave, as a teenager, the silence was eerie and disturbing.

Totally agree with the sentiments Nicky. A friend has said that he found it so (a few years ago anyway) that the birds really don't sing at the former concentration camps. Remarkable if true.

Mans inhumanity to man never ceases to amaze me.

Hitler is thought to have killed 12 million. (civilian, not military)
Historians now reckon Stalin killed 27 million.
Some say Mao killed as many as 77 million.

I say: don't trust anyone who believes they know how to create an ideal society. They are vain, self-deluded and extremely dangerous.
