Your Final Stand Green Soldiers

YOUR FINAL STAND... GREEN SOLDIERS!
WARNING: ADULT SUBJECT, STRONG CONTENT


RIVERS of RED
   FACES of BLUE
      SKYS of GRAY
WHAT LESSONS can be learned from POLAND?

1945 my FAMILY fled the RUSSIAN advance.
   JANUARY… below freezing… my CHILD MOTHER walks ONE HUNDRED MILES in the SNOW.
SEVERAL FEET of WHITE, BROWN FARM WAGONS MILES… 
   THE VILLAGERS fled like ANTS on COUNTRY ROADS.
WILHELM GUSTLOFF was her SAVIOR be, but IT became a SIX THOUSAND PERSON COFFIN
sunk by a RUSSIAN SUBMARINE out in SEA. 

   THREE to FOUR THOUSAND CHILDREN  !!! NOW SILENT !!! 
are painted BLUE… and EVERY WAVE, like a FARMER’S ROW, where TULIPS GROW
   are the FEET of the CHILDREN, WHOSE SHOES became FLOWERS, 
with HEADS drowned BELOW.
   and the CAPTAIN, YEARS LATER… declared a RUSSIAN NATIONAL HERO!

MY GRANDFATHER … inducted as a SLAVE SOLDIER by the NAZIS,
   then a SLAVE SOLDIER by the RUSSIANS … “FIGHT OR BE SHOT” 
     was his MEDAL of HONOR by these DEVIL FLEAS.
And from the SEVERAL MILLIONS DEAD, 
   stacked like fallen TRUNKS OF TREES … on the FRONT…
  left my GRANDFATHER… marching on to POLAND.

POLISH WOMEN and YOUNG GIRLS were NAILED and PAINTED on BARN DOORS by the LUSTS of RUSSIAN SOLDIER SAVAGRY.
THOSE are the HORRORS of WAR we cannot discuss.

ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDERD MILES later, from MONTHS of TOIL
MY OPA finds meine OMA, meine UNKEL, TANTA und MUTTER KIND …
    THROUGH the AMERICAN RED CROSS … 
WHO came to save the WORLD from further TRAGEDY, 
to HOLD BACK THE RED FLOOD WATERS, 
   and prevent further LOSS.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY…
WE MURDER our CHILDREN still blue in the WOMB… 
AMERICA’S COUNT now  sIXTY tHREE mILLION
   that’s SEVEN MILLION - MORE - CIVILIANS from the ENTIRE SECOND WORLD WAR.
THERE WERE 19-28 MILLION WHO DIED FROM DISEASE and FAMINE.
NOW EXAMINE - 5 MILLION WHO PERISHED FROM PRISONERS OF WAR.
   AND THE 21 to 22 MILLIONS COMBATANTS… just to settle the score.

THREE GENENERATIONS later… we no longer walk the miles… 
   with a FATHER FORLORN
BUT!!! YOU TAKE TO THE STREETS!!!  AND IN OUR SCHOOLS
   FIGHT LIKE HELL to SELL *ORN!
A TRANS MAN IN THE CLASSROOMS… and INSIST THAT 
   OUR BOYS AND GIRLS be TORN!
WHAT IS WORSE!?  I ASK… NO!  
   I DEMAND!  
      DA*N IT!
WHAT IS WORSE… WWII … 
   OR YOU!?  
      YOU SPOILED GENERATION…  FIFTEEN to THIRTY TWO?

YOU COME LIKE A NAZI BLITZKRIEG and GLUE YOUR SELF TO STREETs,
    then FORGOT YOU HAD TO PEE.
AND YOU THROW PAINT on cherished PAINTINGs 
    that SURVIVED beyond 1943.
IF YOU WEREn't SO PATHETIC
    YOUR ACTIONS would be a COMEDY!?

YOU f*** LIKE WHORES … with PREVENTION NEGLECTED…
   and INSIST YOUR RIGHT to MURDER the UNBORN… once LOVED… 
NOW YOUR GENERATION REJECTED!

THE WORLD SURVIVED TWO WORLD WARS… and MANY NUCLEAR BOMBS…
   and COULD NOT GIVE TWO s**** FOR THE LIKES OF YOU… 
       TO BE SAVED… FROM GLOBAL WARMING!?
THIS IS FROM MY GENERATION AND MY MOTHER’S... 
   WE WILL TELL YOU… 
       THIS IS YOUR WARNING!

DON’T FEAR THE LOSS OF THE WORLD… 
   FOR YOUR SOULS ARE ALREADY GONE.
IT WILL BE THE DEPTHS OF HELL FOR YOU…  
   BECAUSE IT IS THE WORLD YOU DESIRE.

AND BECAUSE YOU REJECT GOD ABOVE… 
                                   AND CRAP ON YOUR FELLOW MAN…
IT WON’T BE US WHO WILL PERISH… 
   BUT IT WILL BE YOU WHO WILL BURN IN LAKES OF FIRE!

SO MARCH LIKE GREEN SOLDIERS… 
   GO BLOCK THE STREETS… 
AND MAKE YOUR FINAL STAND!

In honor of my mother, my father, and my family.
I love you, and thank you, for teaching me it is better to lay down one's life, for life.  To live with honor, to protect, to cherish, and to love.  People are more important than property.  You taught me the importance of value above price and wisdom beyond knowledge.  I love you... and I thank you.  And especially, give glory be to God... my Savior, Jesus Christ.  You save us all.

Thank you. I have so many reasons, to be thankful. We are all the product of generations, on generations... of miracles. If we only knew more... of our history, of survival.
