Bernard Barclay Poet Villanelle

Arm Bands

The Jewish people, walked with arm bands
pointing out, how they were different
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafes of Berlin

People accepted, what the thought, they could not change,
Courts, enforced the laws of Government,
The Jewish people walked, with arm bands,

Like sheep, the people followed, the words of a man
with eyes blind, he encouraged them to hate,
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafes of Berlin

Those that disagreed, were forced to obey
your children, the spy's, your courts, his arms
The Jewish people walked with arm bands 

We can not fight, we'd lose our job's 
What can one man do, against the system
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafes of Berlin

For evil to thrive, good people do nothing
to prevent the spread of evil, good people stand up,
The Jewish people walked with arm bands 
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafes of Berlin
