Hidden histories: herero and Nama

The holocaust.
A historical event known worldwide 
Taught in every history class
The point being is its known
Why is that important?
It overshadows
It takes the spotlight
It is also white history 
Because even though it was mainly the persecution of Jews
At the end of the day they are still white

But what about another holocaust 
Another genocide of people

To the White Rose of Germany , In memory of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose resistance group

In halls where silence cloaked the dread,
You raised a voice, though fear had spread.
With leaflets fluttering like doves in flight,
You lit a candle in the night.

Not with guns, nor iron might,
But truth and courage, fierce and bright.
A rose in winter, pure and still,
Defying hate with steadfast will.

Your words, like whispers through the air,
Asked hearts to

A BOY AND A BIG DREAM

He crossed the seas with dreams in his hands
a boy from home trying to understand
how to grow, how to belong,
how to be right when everything feels wrong.

On the streets of Germany he welcomed every stare
Every words whispered is a scare
"Schau dir den ‚Neger‘ an,
wie arm und wild er sein kann."

In classrooms, he knew his stuff
books,

At that first taste,
my initial savoring sip, 
smoky, rich, strong, 

unlike any anywhere,
anytime I had ever had 
and I had had my share,
 
but this German Kaffee 
mit zucker und kreme, 
served hot as her smile

suggests a second cup   
for the rest of my life. 

A Gift From Germany

Our Christmas traditions ...
They came across the sea,
From the old, old towns
In the heart of Germany 

Sugar and spice - filled
Were the gingerbread men,
Cut by hand ... carefully 
As was the tradition then

A wooden nutcracker guards
In a frosted windowpane,
To keep away evil spirits ...
Out wandering down your lane

And, the advent calendar 
Which hung on the

Unter den Linden, I have a soft spot for the German language
when a toddler, I had free access to a military camp where
they had enormous horses and let me sit on top of one of them
(looking up horses, I think they were Belgian draft horses)
Since I was 5 years old at the

Berlin

this non conformist city
breathes a calm but edgy air
through gaps in the graffiti 
and the street art everywhere

its face is sometimes brutal
but its heart and soul seem not
and it walks a sexy diverse walk
that’s cold yet somehow hot

(but I know I’m getting older
when those fun thoughts in my head
reject the swinging KitKatClub
for KitKat bars instead)

Why Germany Lost the War

While Italian girls were looking at shoes,
And German women were reading the news, 
And checking to find some good movie reruns,
The Russian women were grabbing their guns.

And while Germany was losing its gains,
Rosie the Riveter was turning out planes.
While Hitler was saying  "You've got to be White",
The Tuskegee Airmen were conducting a flight

And when

"Get high on yourself baby
You
The revolution"

It wasn’t Reagan chirping away
That brought down the Berlin Wall
It was Nina Hagen brawling like a sprung spider
From a death crack in the wall

She understood its graffitied brick and steel
Was but a trembling empty web
Before the CIA ever did

We Shan'T Forget You - Battle of Britain's Longest Day August 15

They were young starry-eyed, yet too soon so many had to die.
Brave to a fault with wanderlust of youth, no challenge spurned however seemingly uncouth.
In azure blue skies with only clouds as friends, they sought their prey through war's myopic lens.
No quarter given and none spared by their foes, incandescent bullets superseding schoolyard blows.

Germany a Failed State

Germany, a failed state?

Germany is in recession; this is entirely to the hysterical left wing
With woke policy and the US meddling, to comply 
the US blew up North Stream 2, the biggest industrial sabotage 
since the War of 1940, no one batted an eye.
The notion is that planting more windmills is somehow would be enough,

Be Ready To Fly

A clean way to big tears dry 
Is it make a fresh bold try:
Not in fury's red pan fry .
Nor wear a smile dully wry .

You may into stars' lives pry :
Those  who'd made it planting rye .
Yet, this could make a bloke cry 
Or wish one did not it try .

Nazi Germany, Usa Style

Dreadful masters of deceit at its creation

Censorship and fear, hallmarks,  it’s inception.

You think, ah, that’s just ancient history?

As the news marches you happily into misery!

Race-baiting, how you love demonstrations!

Forgetting the lessons, the recriminations.

Skin color does not make you superior!

Just a slick word that justifies terror?

Into the night, you run, text and curse?

England and Germany

England And Germany
Twin sides of the same coin
Light and dark the game's the same
Two soldiers doing the same job
Both would be mortal enemies
Yet their stories are the same
On a certain type of mission
Getting the same result
Like it's a scripted storyline
The hit man and the cop
Telling exactly the same story
Each eradicating the rapist
Not a tale I
