Notes About The Poem

Eva Braun, and all the other wives, normalised Nazi way of life. Let's be aware of the danger in normalising bad.

Politician

I’ll not normalise that sort of behaviour, 
I’ll not pretend it’s ok,
It’s not ok to live in a lie, 
Not listening to what other folks say,

That those little thoughts are bad for our world, 
Those plans don’t really belong,
That those actions and words will never conform, 
That those actions and words are all wrong,

You see, those things that you said, they’re never ok, 
They’re not the rules people live by,
They’re not the values embraced by the world, 
And that is the real reason why,

Those words and ideas will not be embraced, 
Not by me, my family, my peers,
Enough is enough, no more vicious and hate, 
No more playing on other folks fears.

Agree with your sentiments so elegantly and politely expressed, Lewis. Hope they take notice..before the world loses patience.
