Haman and Hitler

Years and months and days… time Separate the two But the oddity of their similar plot Of what they wanted to do... “Kill them all, we do not care Be it right or be it wrong The draught of blood brought to my lips Will end in joyous song. Do not allow my eyes to be cast upon Such a shameful sight… Take them all, by neck and wrist Murder the children in the night The children and the ones who love them And everything they touch Burn it, smash it, it’s unclean; I do so know this much. Why then, did God, allow for this Monstrosity to be born? Why is there this pathetic race Here for us to scorn? And why do we, two faces of evil Need to hate them so To feed the fire of lust in our soul There’s no other passion That can drive me to go. So kill them one, kill them all! And don’t one eye look away! The splatter of blood, the cry of old Has already begun to decay. What will happen to us, I wonder When our torment is never satisfied Will we then also, enjoy a doomed fate When all the Jews have died?”
