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.
