Scarce Harvest

War World II was raging over this
southern Italian town* spared by a miracle...
a deluge that suddenly occurred: 
a night of blasting sounds, of rising flames 
as American planes bombarded its buildings;
the Nazis fled to occupied Naples.
In the North, the Fascits were executed,
as the Dictator Mussolini himself was. 


The farms could not be furrowed deep and neat,
fear hung over the farmers' shoulders;
and wheat couldn't grow abundantly to make bread,
and brazen women to a distant granary they went, 
risking their lives to grind the wheat kernels;
they were no young men in town, or the older ones
who had gone to war for a concept so deceptive.
Many youngsters and soldiers were kidnapped by the Nazis, 
to be taken to Germany as prisoners of war...who would have 
challenged the Third Reich, or disobeyed?


Old women with handkerchiefs on their heads, weeping loudly
and mourning the tranquil town it once was...so lovely and happy, 
and their cry was too bitter and inconsolable to be hushed;
now, even bread was taken away from them,
damning the cruel Duce, who had betrayed them for vanity...
why did he bring prosperity to Africa, not to Italy?
Why was his ego so manipulated by Hitler's cleverness...
that he could have conquered peoples and lands?


Ruins and dead kindred...a scenery of dread and abomination,
and the lively memory of begonias on their sunny balconies 
brought a sweet nostalgia in an hour of horror and death;
and gathered among the crumbled walls, their rosaries  
recited with graceful whispers, gave them 
the strength and the courage to desperately grieve:
"Peace, o beloved peace, have you overlooked
the kindness of such humble and honorable spirits?
 

Darkness brought the silence they had sought under the glittering skies,
to hide the ugliness of the war in their gloomy shadows,
never to reveal the devastation of their town;
and with the new sun rising, hope would have been 
renewed in the sunrise's lasting glow.
They would have seen those wheat golden kernels 
bend under their heavy weight and bow.... 
and heard themselves saying," Mercy, o mercy
of our righteous God, let prosperity abound...
as the misty rain slowly comes down!"

Marble Stars of David and Marble Crosses

      75th Anniversary-D-Day
            June 6, 1944

Gratitude to all soldiers who
died on D-Day.
Unless all nations had decided
to end Hitler's rule!
And nations were willing to call
evil for what it was,
The Fuhrer and his madmen
might still be in power now.

We compare our leaders to that
madman?
How utterly juvenile, shameful
and maddeningly futile.
You can see which group who is
dedicated to stopping total free 
speech, or what we can see, 
hear or read.
Hitler did the same.
Remember?

They beat people who were not
of the Third Reich thinking.
Killed not only Jews,but also 
gypsies,Christians even Greek 
Jews, too. And countless more.

Suppression is going on here,
and it sets my heart to sinking.
When will we stop harming others
for their beliefs or thinking?

D-Day gets almost zero attention
in America.
I was moved by the marble Stars 
of David and marble crosses at 
Normandy!
Where thousands died to save you
and me.
Yes, from all nations!

9,000 plus buried in hallowed 
ground.
A number, far from small.
But, in those days, people did
understand:
If you do not have freedom to
be politically and religiously
free,
You don't have freedom at all.

No poem I ever write equals the 
valor of a soldier.
Wear a uniform is San Francisco
hired protestors spit on you!
That shows me how precarious 
our freedom is.
It comes with a price.
The price is your willingness to
stand for this country and not
allow it to be treated as a joke.

++In memory the greatest,who 
not only fought but came back 
and built this American nation.++ 


Mein Kampf is still very popular in a
certain part of the world. 
Check where online! Gross!

They simply had one Ministry of Truth
for news.
No others allowed.
Wake up, it's happening here!
They found a group to paint, as the
source of all evil.
Stores were closed, windows smashed
of hated businesses.
Book burnings? Now we have Social
Media churnings!

One group, blamed for Society's Fall.
They don't sport a yellow star, yet.
But AOC wants enlightenment camps.
She, the new Fourth Reich Squad Vamp.
Think it can't happen again?
It's already in progress here, my friend!
            
~THOSE WHO FORGET THE PAST,
ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT~

We are already well on our way to establish 
Auschwitz tomorrow!
VOA was shut off due to your new Resident 
in DC!
There is space now for a patriot's sorrow.
We no longer have a valid Constitution.
Just one party who seeks pain and 
illegal, unjustified retribution!

Long-lost, godless, fire-breathing dragon Land.
Tiananmen tanks rolling over your fellow man.
Glean away your newborn daughter's sheen.
Scumble the villagers, drown out their dreams.
Build plastic war islands- earth-devouring dams.
The once red humble gem has become a piece of slag.

Keep them silent-slit their rice-filled throats.
Keep them blind and dumb as deep cave toads.
Strip from their callused hands-their right to vote.
You're not fooling them- not a single soul.
They're wise and know your heart is void of any gold.
They know about your dark intent to overthrow.
To put poisoned chains around earth's sweet liberty.
Into the lamb of hope, thrust your daggers deep.
Pop our naïve-fat cherry-sweetened souls. 
Deal freedom a one-finger nuclear death blow. 

All free men are known to believe and say,
that goodness will always overcome evil ways.
That devil's Reich that was to last a thousand years.
Was reduced to blistered memory in just a few short years.
Those black flags that once terrorized a pearled land.
Were driven deep down into the bowels of burning sand.

It may take a millennium and the granddad of all wars.
The lady with the tablet and that big old blow torch.
Will awaken and swim an ocean from Liberty Island.
To smoke that sassy red panda and feed it to the lions.

Not Part of the Plan

The Armenians are’t wanted,
Christians in Muslim land,
we have to make Turkey for Turks,
they’re not part of the plan.

The kulaks are class enemies,
hoarding all the best land,
it’s fine to starve the productive,
they’re not part of the plan.

The Jews have undermined us all,
this is an Aryan land,
gas them to build a brand new Reich,
they’re not part of the plan.

We must make a Great Leap Forward,
make metal, not till land,
peasants may die, but we have more,
they’re not part of the plan.

Let’s take it back to Year Zero,
and reshape this whole land,
send tainted to the Killing Fields,
they’re not part of the plan.

The unborn just get in the way,
don’t need them in this land,
what’s life compared to convenience?
They’re not part of the plan.

These -istaphobic right-wingers
are blights upon our land,
let’s kill the lie that is freedom,
they’re not part of the—

Wait—hey, who gave them all guns? Oh shi—

A Man For the Dark, Dark Days

Black-out curtains and empty streets
Air raid sirens and running feet.
Mickey Mouse masks
To save children from gas.
Air raid shelters underground,
Bombed buildings burned down.

Butter rationed, lemons scarce, no candy or sweet treat.
Register with your butcher, if you want meat.
Lawns replaced with a vegetable garden,
Volunteer service as air raid warden.
Streetlights off and headlights dimmed,
Traveling by car became quite grim.

Singalongs down in the tube,
Acrobats or a funny boob.
Anything to pass the time—
A joke, a song, a funny rhyme.
Makeshift beds to sleep the night,
Difficult time, an occasional fight.

Into these dark, dark days
Came a man, fears to allay.
Winston Churchill by name,
Known by many, such was his fame.
A soldier then statesman, a political man,
He stepped to the front with a bold, firm plan.

"Blood, toil, tears, and sweat."
It won’t be easy, that’s a sure bet.
"We shall fight on the beaches…in the fields…in the street,
we shall fight in the hills," we shall not be beat.
"The abyss of a new Dark Age" shadows us all,
But this is our "finest hour," and Britain shall not fall!

And fall they did not,
Though times were fraught.
Led by this man of purpose and cause,
Britain stood and gave the Third Reich pause.
And with allies Europe was freed,
Never forget this man and his deeds.

N ever again will the Tribes of Israel be the sacrificial lamb of man.
A nnealed in furnaces not in Olam HaEmet by the Almighty "the World of Truth."
Z ealots rose from the ashes of the ovens and now defend like Sicarii of old.
I srael blooms and grows in the desert, returned by Allied Forces to the cauldron.
H ome to the Holy Land, sent, shipped, caste surrounded by Arab foe, isolated. 
O vens melted their hearts, striped their forms for their souls held no intrinsic value.
L ampshades and shoes made from their skin, jewelry from the gold in their teeth.
O rders given by The Third Reich obeyed without conscious. The herd was culled.
C hrist-killer the Christian mind said, devil worshiper, their deaths were acceptable.
A nti-Semitism always has been and always will be a threat to Jews everywhere.
U nited, Jews must form a majority in Israel, so Jews everywhere feel safe.
S anctuary will never again being denied, Israel will be safe haven from persecution.
T o a future where all men have worth regardless of race, creed or religion, pray.

Premium Member White House Bible Study a Go Go

Written upon the occasion of a notorious 
Dominionist who is intolerant, racist, anti-science,
homophobic, misogynist, anti-catholic,
who teaches God does not hear Jewish prayers,
blames black people for causing slavery,
and who specifically asked the president to turn 
America into a theocratic "benevolent" dictatorship
under which the Constitution becomes 
secondary to the Bible, invited by Dolt45 to lead 
the first White House Bible Study Group 
in over 100 years.

Everybody stand and sing!

"Jesus hates the gays and *******, 
Jesus hates moslems and jews, 
Red and yellow black or brown 
Jesus knocks them each one down, 
If they're immigrants he makes them eat their shoes."

And for our second hymn:

"Shall we gather by the river
To stone somebody we dislike
Then their corpses we'll deliver
As offerings to the Reich."

The White House Bible Study Cheer:

"Death to Jefferson!"

 Gay adults use to be
Gay children.
  We grew up in our own 
Secret prison.

  Emotional torture by 
People that hate.
  We are born tempting the 
Hand of fate.

  Verbal abuse with ******
Slurs.
  We learn fast how to
Be diverse.

  Ridiculed behind religious
Bigotry.
  A lot of us grew up with 
Toxic hostility.

  We lost some good ones along
The way.
  Suicide looked better than
Another day.

  Others died at the hands,
Of A hateful rage.
  An all-out gay-bashing,
Bloody rampage.

  This is the start of the holocaust
Against queers.
  We hide in closets and live 
In fear.

  Third Reich fascism from 
The GOP.
  It starts with the drag queens
In Tennessee.
