Holocausts Poems | Examples

Premium MemberHellhounds on Our Trail

Nations split the atom
Unleashing impending doom
China stockpiles munitions 
London rings europe's bell
Europe prepares for the inevitable carnage
America plants silos in the midwest
Russian bells are tolling
Kremlin halls are glowing 
Nuclear war "can" be won
Under the "right" conditions 
Contrary to what "peace geeks" think
Knights of "freedom" must rise
Let loose the lightning!
Echo the shattering thunder!
Holocausts and hellhounds!
Embers will "reign"
Ash will choke the skies
Dust, is but our "destiny"
Send them all straight to "hell"

Jesus killers

Jesus's killers
I looked up the Wikipedia to see if a man I had
known for thirty years but never met was there. Do
not exist, was the answer. I wrote my name also; it
appeared I didn't exist either. I did once when
thinking it was vital, but some ladies
in Jerusalem had deleted me.
The ladies in Jerusalem are dedicated, to keeping
holocaust alive, a hopeless case, all holocausts and
there have been many that have forgotten. Right now in
Palestine, there is low-level extermination going
on, but since the perpetrators are people who
suffered much, we pretend not to see.
As a man in an illegal Jewish settlement said: 
We killed Jesus and are proud of it,

Premium MemberThe Cockroach Hotel


Beneath the leaves 
One may find 
Scribbles of another kind 
Written there are hidden truths 
Collated by collective roots 
Stashed under a different roof 

Stored next to a bed of bark 
Are twisted tales from the dark 
You’ll find something similar to 
Gideon’s Bible soaking up the dew 

Nuclear holocausts they will survive 
Though, these Hotels take their lives 
So, if you’re a cockroach checking in
You just may want to find a friend 
In Jesus!

Minor Eruptions

Clubbing seal cubs
portends a rage for mass murder.

The tail wags the dog
and the offended march away
to slaughter strangers.

Generation after generation,
year after year,
small holocausts
erupt at the strike of a matchstick.

Meanwhile bloody footprints
reshape a landscape.

Ladies in Jerusalem

Ladies in Jerusalem 

I looked up the Wikipedia to see if a man I had known
for thirty years, but never met was there
Does not exist, was the answer
I wrote my name also; it appeared I didn't exist either
I did once when thinking it was important
but some ladies in Jerusalem had deleted me.
The ladies of Jerusalem are dedicated to keeping
holocaust alive
A hopeless case
there have been many holocausts throughout history
right now, we are witnessing a holocaust in Gaza there, have been many more now forgotten.
In Palestine, there is low-level extermination on
but since the perpetrators are people who have
suffered much, we look another way
An aggressive Zionist, an illegal Jewish settlement
said, we killed Jesus and are proud of it,

Premium MemberArm-in-Arm Awaiting

      ‘I shall multiply your seed as the stars of heaven
          and as the sand on the seashore’*
       As if Father Abraham could count them all --
          at that very moment he stood so tall  

       And now we, his descendants, over 4,000 years later
          yearning for this promise of God to be fulfilled
       Midst pogroms and holocausts down through the ages
          Israel’s faithful have ever stood ...

       ... arm-in-arm, awaiting the population explosion
             God promised Abraham, our father, long ago chosen

Premium MemberFreedom from Hamas

     ~ 'Rap-Style' ~

  Freedom from Hamas
     Freedom from Abbas

  Eliminate Sinwar
     No more war  

  Redevelop Gaza 
     with kosher shopping plazas... 

  From Transjordan to the sea
     All Israel's territory

  Annex it 60 years ago
     Defy the ‘status quo’ ... 

  Israel stands unbowed
     ~ Israeli Jews are proud  

  ________________________________
  How about a little rap to remind the
  radical left, the White House, Congres-
  sional Democrats, and the world of the
  true and just war Israel is fighting
  against the monsters of Hamas, against
  Abbas with his 'pay-to-slay-Jews' program 
  for 'brave' Palestinians, and against Sinwar, 
  who promises thousands of October seven
  massacres/holocausts - 'til every last Jew 
  is dead. Sinwar is this generation's Hitler...

Premium MemberChildren of the Planets

We are children of the planets,
We are children made of stars.
We once believed in a magic old man
Riding in an airborne sled.
With a bounty of unconditional love 
For every child, a bounty for any child.

We must remain those children,
Believing this love is universal,
Believing it is truly unconditional,
Love that glides on sleigh runners
Over ethereal vistas of clouds.  
Immortal love, so much greater than 
The sum of its parts.

To put an end to the Gaza genocide,
To put an end to future holocausts, 
This is the only hope for our species.
We are children of the planets,
We are children made of stars.

Just To Inform You That the War Is Due To Expire On

Dear Ukraine, I am sorry to have to inform you
that you must keep fighting and dying.

Dear Russia, your options are to die or kill.

We have arranged to end this unfortunate conflict
in 5 years’ time on May the 8th.

If there are any folks left by then
may they at least know
that the American war machine
and its military industrial complex
have added much wealth to their coffers,
and have made great technical strides
in the deadly arts of selective destruction.

Yes, it's quite true that most Americans
could not find Kiev or Moscow on a map,
but the general public are most ‘gong ho’
about all this madness,
indeed, most seem sublimely unfussed
about the very real possibility
of a looming nuclear holocausts –
now that’s what we call patriotic!

Please be assured that our politicians and pundits
also seem ever willing for you combatants
to sacrifice your sons, mothers, wives, and daughters
until democracy, freedom, and the American way
are restored somewhere.

Generational Holocausts

The term understates,
underrates the invisible numbers,
after the headlines, the quieted dead
dwindle to less than extraordinary.

Violence and cultural blight
are seen as side effects of affluence,
a benign wind of change
and not the culling, winnowing
and genocide of a Nation
sleepwalking into madness.

Clubbing seal cubs
portends a rage for mass murder.

The tail wags the dog
and the offended march away
to slaughter strangers.

Generation after generation,
no - year after year,
day to day.

Meanwhile bloody footprints
reshape a landscape of fear.

You Made This

We have seen every ghastly act and recorded it.
Grisly deeds yellow in archives waiting to be refined and improved.
Tyrannosaurus Rex wakes in a drop of amber, takes a look around,
decides to go extinct again.
Cell phones retweet daily holocausts over coffee and donuts
Evil has friends on Facebook,
the commonplace entertains the unspeakable
as if it were merely an eccentric uncle.
The unborn and the born are culled and are tax deductible.
On the other hand the plague business is thriving.
There are killings on the market –
and of course everywhere else.

The New Normal

We have seen every ghastly act and recorded it.
Grisly deeds yellow in archives waiting to be refined and improved.
Tyrannosaurus Rex awakes in a drop of amber, takes a look around,
decides to go extinct again.
Cell phones retweet daily holocausts over coffee and donuts
Evil has friends on Facebook,
the commonplace entertains the unspeakable
as if it were merely an eccentric uncle.
The unborn and the born are culled and are tax deductible.
On the other hand the plague business is thriving,
there are killings on the market –
and of course everywhere else.

Premium MemberDarkness Reigns

Darkness Reigns
The dark has settled and I am at my height
of delicious evil as I rage through the Earth this night.
A basement of torture in the East, where I relish the lash,
in the market of children lost and hurting, where I laugh loudly,
at the deviant exchange of cold hard cash.

Beautiful bombs are made in a pristine warehouse in the West
and the promise of  murder of the masses, perhaps I love this the best.
How I recharge and strengthen in power,
When the axis of evil, in the North and the South crawls and turns on and on every hour.
Every second, every minute, every day
killing and cruelty in every way.

And I walk sometimes slowly and silently with hooded disguise
or join with the normal who walk with closed eyes.
Step by step I’ve been here before, thousands of years
through terror and chains, holocausts and genocide, I know my way,
Give the greedy their chance, the murderous a place to play
The sinister and shameful running to meet me, and meet their clay,

For all will be earth and cloying dark, some time
And I will cloister the cold, welcome the heat and wait, in evil sublime.

Eve of Destruction

We have seen every ghastly act and recorded it.
Yet more grisly deeds yellow in archives
waiting to be resuscitated and refined.
 
Tyrannosaurus Rex awakes in a drop of amber,
takes a gander, decides to go extinct.
A Dark Net spreads like arsenic and syrup.
Cell phones retweet daily holocausts over donuts.
Evil has friends on Facebook.
 
The commonplace entertains the unspeakable
as if it were merely an eccentric uncle.
The unborn and the born are culled,
Plague businesses thrive.
There are killings on the market, viral wars
burst spiky eruptions of emojis.
Slave traders operate from strip-malls
owned by chauffeured demons,
while journalists huddle in their alabaster cities
undimmed by human tears.
 
Pandemonium is the addiction of choice
and the eyes of those in power
glitter in the clear blue sky-dreams
of both the heartless and the homeless.
Drugged you are America,
soon to be sold on an auction block
of your own drugged choosing.
We once sang for you America,
O Beautiful America.
