Nuremburg Turmoil

Nuremburg Turmoil Last night my wife Jill and I watched the Nuremburg Trials movie. I ended up writing this poem just now at 0500 in the morning. It all was such a horrible affair to have seen. It is hard to believe that there were over 25 concentration camps in Germany during WW II. Pitiful!!! Truly pitiful!!! My Horn name might have really been Hornstein at one time. Who knows. There are those who want to right a wrong And they have tried to do it all day long When it all seemed like such a senseless act Trying to bring all of those memories back. What they had arrived at was an alibi Which was used by them to describe why All those many naughty things were done And who really had been the responsible one. Was said for their country all of it they did Terrible things that all of humanity forbid Messing over minds and souls being obliterated While their bodies were completely incinerated. No matter how long you may have to pause This became such a terrible, horrible cause Criminally minded people were being driven by Final result was so many having to die and die. A Pope, many political figures and majesties Could have prevented all of these tragedies Tears to my eyes all of this truly does bring To happen, how could God allow such a thing.

The holocaust was nothing in comparison to what will happen when the end of this age comes..It is going to be a horrible time..The only thing that I can say about the holocaust was that Satan was in control of many people and fear in many more..It should have never happened but it did..Thanks for stopping by..I appreciate you reading my work..I would have liked to talked to my grandmother about what happened to her but by the time I found out she had been dead about 55 years so only in heaven.SK

SK, Same here my grandmother died in the 1920's when my dad was less than 10. Next year I will be 75 and married for 50 years. Hard to believe.
