Lessons From History

Lessons From History When Hitler was voted into power He scraped in (voting was a shambles), But he knew it had come, this was his hour, And so he took one of his biggest gambles. He knew his grip on power was paper thin And so decided he would take a flier; He gambled everything that he would win, So struck a match and lit the Reichstag fire. He blamed it squarely on the other side, The ostensible excuse he needed. He silenced everyone who said he lied: Head gardener in a garden that he seeded With such a rank and rotten infestation It killed, corrupted and destroyed a nation.
