Metal Reincarnated Into Evil
The whole world was forced to usher
in a spring of bombs from the skies,
that turned towns and cities
to big bonfires,
that gods of death warmed themselves.
Tanks and fields were filled with corpses
and disfigured men,
from both warring fronts. Death did not
discriminate a nation’s historical record
belief, or power. It just came. Slow, and sometimes
fast.
Ships created gigantic bonfires,
which resembled a traditional Viking
home sending on a river by a fiery arrow.
Torpedoes and big guns forcefully sent
thousands of youths to another home.
For almost a decade fires and screams
filled the earth. It was Hell! Man had turned iron
and steel to artillery and explosives
which were strong enough to melt
away Man’s civilization,
and Man himself.
The swastika was in conflict with the Star of David,
the Cross, and other symbols of faith. Faith in turn,
excommunicated the Swastika from the face
of the earth…
