Seduced by 'the devil' Hitler - Catholic Herald

Oh, if ever the devil donned flesh on this earth 'Twas that beast, Hitler, by length and by girth And ne'er a god's temple, nor any man's ashes Will make sense of closing so many dear lashes Or not granting wake to those millions of dreams. Written on November 19, 2020 For the "Quin-To Your Five Line" Poetry Contest Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.

You my friend packed so very much into five verses. I have went back in time and destroyed that monster many times in my fantasies. He was evil incarnate and is most certainly in hell where he belongs, imho. A fav.

This is very very good, Greg, and why I am first here to comment makes absolutely no sense at all. Hitler is alive and well today, in the sense that he is living through the actions of the elite intent on destroying our world with their eugenics. God help us all.

Thank you so very much for the kind comments, Andrea, I greatly appreciate the time given ... I remember feeling discouraged at getting one comment for every ten (or so) hits, now it takes over a hundred, lol! Oh well ...
