"fuhrer" poems
They came for us with tanks and guns. We stood our ground—the old and young. All our troops had mustered round our Capital--Sacramento town. A New Republic, we’d declared, and its defense, among all would be shared. With the Bear Flag flying high we all came to fight and die. Young men in their combat boots repelled the dictator’s first wave of troops. Civilians came from South and North to resist the fascist ruler’s force. From Frisco and from San Jose, from San Diego and L.A., from Calistoga and Marin, thousands had come pouring in. Then US bombers burned the city, for the orange Fuhrer had no pity. They won the battle, but we all know from history, how these things go. An occupation cannot last against a people whose strength holds fast. The tyrant’s troops will tire, while we will fight on, until we’re free.

The California Rebellion of 2020
Dear Poet Friends, Here is a poem by a young Canadian poet named Darien, which I found while browsing the Net! I would like to share this with you as a prelude to my poem about the 'Rise of The Third Reich', - which I hope to post on this Site shortly. Thanks, - Raj Nandy, New Delhi World War II - ADOLF ****** by DARIEN,  Aug 21, 2006 Austria raised a man so vile and vicious His life was dark, callous and malicious Passions of hatred engraved in his mind As he plotted to create his own mankind A soldier for Germany in World War One War to end all wars had only just begun The National Socialist Party appeared fast Their numbers grew rapidly as time passed Charismatic oratory and propaganda his tool False promises made, people he would fool Were Nazis the one to bring hope? Perhaps Without their help Germany would collapse The Reichstag Fire would be a stepping stone Germany's President died, he took the throne He became the fuhrer leader of all Germany And would start the worst war of the century War had been started with a Nazi-Soviet pact Together with Russia, Poland they attacked England and France were not ready for war Marching of Nazis soldiers was not ignored. Mussolini became his ally and supported him For all other countries their chances were slim Many countries were defeated in a few days the Fascist and Nazis would give him praise Blitzkrieg was a strategy that worked most In defeating all his enemies he came close The Nazis would spread all across Europe But it would be at Stalingrad they would stop Communist regimes were one group he did hate Yet it was the Jews he would try to annihilate In all cruelty, bloodshed, war would soon end There was still so much for people to defend On V-Day he saw all his armies demolished ****** and fascism in Europe was abolished World War Two ended the areas were secure From that evil, monstrous beast Adolf ******                                       - By Darien.

You told me once that I am your favorite writer. I was hesitant and unsure. Your innocence might jinx me this time. Then you laughed, as you always do, like a child giggling while waiting the rain from the summer sky. Everything becomes clear. After all, whatever comes from you is never you. Of course, you are as always an empty being. Your emptiness tells many stories. Your emptiness fools me. Your emptiness is the real vessel of soul. Your emptiness is a parchment for budding thoughts. Your emptiness is a magic. No wonder, I fell in love with that emptiness. I just do not know if emptiness loves me back. Or, was it me who stares at the abyss long enough that a centenary gone by. 1900: The Boxer rebellion begun. Freud published his Interpretation of Dreams. 1903: The Wright brothers marked their first flight. In turn, Curtiss decided to invade the sky. 1912: Titanic anchored to Atlantis, to its final resting place. Two years after, the first World War broke out. Horses galloped to the killing fields. 1925: The first among many trials of the century began. That day, Darwin risen for the second time. 1934: ****** became Fuhrer. The world becomes a theater. “Absurd,” says Beckett. “Cruelty” for Artaud. 1939; 1941: Second World War broke out; Pear Harbor bombed. Asia Pacific meets its infernal fate. 1945: Three mushroom clouds seen: New Mexico, Hiroshima, and Nagazaki. 1960’s: Humanity becomes obsessed with multiple wars: cold, space, nuclear, music, universities; not counting the mutants who played major roles in between. 1986: Itay wrote a letter to Inay. The letter reached Manila after a few days from Jeddah. 1989: Capitalism won. Berlin wall fell like a paper plane after its victorious flight. My parents met for the first time. Months later, they decided to cut the cake and get married. 1993: The World Wide Web saw its day. I was born. Twenty two years later, I met her. A year after, Phil Collins sang once again Separate lives. That time, I know, I will never be your favorite writer.

I remember when I walked the Earth in the days before I died. When ***** chancellor ****** rose, after the Reichstag fire. I remember a November night with a million shards of glass. I never felt more all alone, that night my lover passed. After that, I had no rights, I was forced to bear this sign: A pink Triangle swatch of cloth, by this I was defined. I remember some with David's star would look down their nose at me. We were under the same sentence- had not our deaths all been decreed? I remember when I walked the Earth in the days before I died. Before mein Fuhrer dug for me my grave up in the sky.

Pink Triangle
Poor little Donny. Long ago all he had Was his overlarge, pumpkin-shaped head, His tiny baby hands, And a small loan of a million dollars. He struck out for himself, With only that million dollars to his name. And he became a success... And then went bankrupt, And then found success again, And then bankruptcy, And finally more success. He bought himself a wife, Made himself a daughter he wants to date, And put in a run for president. Now he stands atop a pedestal, Spewing forth hate-filled words, Xenophobic and mono-syllabic. His white washed fans, bowing before their Fuhrer. Our best and brightest spend their days decrying his actions, Our true leaders point out his massive ineptitudes, Our comedians creating thoroughly researched, 20 minute rants about this tiny-handed, pumpkin man. The other leaders of the world stand baffled by Donny's popularity. But still his stands behind his podium, With his red hat, Waving his baby hands and blubbering about his "Great brain. The best brain." And the "Fantastic wall. The great wall. A Trump wall." And so the question becomes, What will this tyrannical child do When his presidential aspirations are destroyed? For he lacks the support of any minority group, Any women's group, And any level-headed person. The answer is simple: He will sue, or at least threaten to do so. He will rant and rave like the lunatic that he is. His racist followers will do the same. But their blabbering will be lost in the words of the intelligent. Or at least we hope that will be the outcome. Why, oh why, little handed Donny, Must you spew such hatred and xenophobia? Why can you not return to your tower of gold, With your expensed wife, and bobble sized pumpkin head? Please leave us be.

Bigotry has a smell of death The fuhrer would watch piles on piles of empty flesh In the summer of 1941 On the grounds of Auschwitz, that place weighed heavier than a ton Years after the shoah, would this understanding begin to unfold That nothing stains the soul more indelibly than loathe What do the blind see? Your oratory abhorrence they forsee They see, not your bitter visage But their ears crush under the muscle of your burning rage What do the deaf hear? Even years after the passing of a yesteryear I suppose, they hear words, like skin caressing skin Your tirade tearing their tissues like a throw of javelin Along Its path, since decades, turning into centuries Before times were tamed Even after times were maimed Our tongues have plucked Incessantly The plumage of quarantined birds With stubborn shame And a sequence of demise ensues Their voice also dies, so does their silence Because after all Bigotry has a smell of death

Die Verse City
Riding on a tank I saw a dream walking on the sand Or it could have been a hedgerow road Wearing a hijab or a Sunday dress Or a naked body covered in screams The images laced with the faces, Of the waiting ones, who for them, Life is about nature walks And laughing with their children But now they only know shock Nobody told them how to cope With bombs And the dreams of despots I saw them Their blank faces unable to reach me Was I their savior Or the reality of true power I love my family They believed in me But to a stranger, I am a machine A soldier ready to die But it wasn’t that way It’s not that simple I don’t want to die And yes, I am afraid Yes, they do The memory of a sacred ceremony Do you have one? They do The defeated ones They have a God They have blood planted where you stand You cannot erase a memory Unless you **** a man And his family All of them Then you can pretend it didn’t happen We were sent with visions of glory It is the way of war But we cannot imagine it For glory does not provide details Only parades and salutes And tears It does not speak of panic Of equipment failure Of battle fatigue Of another man willing to die for his God Or his Fuhrer You didn’t read it in the manual Void and formless Light Oceans Continents Life Vanity Race Predominance Oppression Death Did he set it in motion Or is he trying to turn it around? I don’t want to die But I am about to lose everything I have My life now is like crossing a freeway It can be done You just have to know how to do it Or just be lucky Am I wearing the right clothes? The women are dressed for their God The Sunday dress The hijab They were ready Except the screams of burning flesh is not a dress I lost a fight once in school Now I'm an assassin A dangerous man That’s all I need to think about Killing another man And I can **** another man With a gun Or a knife They are supposed to fear me They need to fear me But I am afraid of myself Violence is all that matters now That’s what everyone wants I walked out on the field The crowd was cheering for me Then my eyes met those of a kneeling man A brave man playing a violent sport I nodded to him But he didn’t stand up He watched me honored for surviving For surviving something greater than myself Right or wrong And he knew that people hated him They hated him for not honoring me But I wasn’t angry I could only think about those women

You should brew a batch Of a tea that makes you bright And if it works the rest of us Can get some sleep at night Because whatever tea you drink As you plow your awful road Is making you a truly lethal kind Of hairy, ugly poisonous toad. Tea for the Trumperman For him and his bund. Pay for it all with our Stolen pension fund. Make special batches For him and his cronies Look them up under the tab High treason and phonies. Maybe drink the kind of tea That hippies still smoke It might make you think You are a bit less of a joke But it won't ever make you Less of a fool than you are; The highly lethal driver Of the Republican clown car. Another kind of tea please For those who called this fool a **** But this time make this batch Of primo quality hemlock. The best way is to tell all Those dim Trumpster finks This is precisely what der Fuhrer drinks. Tea for the Trumperman For him and his bund. Pay for it all with our Stolen pension fund. Make special batches For him and his cronies Look them up under the tab High treason and phonies.

Ja Wohl Meine Fuhrer !
Sophie was just twenty two, arrayed in prison grey, Sentenced to death for treason; this, her final day. She was a faithful Catholic who defied the twisted cross. She saw through the Fuhrer’s lies; those golden piles of dross. Her boyfriend was a medic who served on the Eastern front. Then, wounded, he returned with some hard truths to confront. He’d seen the mass graves filled with Jews; the horror, the despair. Demons such as ****** require more than prayer. When they authored their first leaflet they surely must have known That they would be discovered and how they would atone. With each succeeding pamphlet they courted their demise. Their Martyrdom a certainty; truth is treason in men’s eyes. One by one the White rose died; death by the guillotine. They had committed treason; their sentence guaranteed. When Sophie heard the guillotine sing she knew what they had found; As she, too, cast off her earthly cross and exchanged it for a crown.

White Rose
No end in sight Afghanistan Still burnin’ flags out in Iran Chinese steel grip The Fuhrer’s fist Still poundin’ on the podium As Appalachia still succumbs To ethnic cleansing ***** Peace-keepin’ like a North Korean Sleepin’ on a Puerto Rican Leakin’ all the in between and Still you people think he’s speakin’ For the huddled masses, middle classes? Cuttin’ taxes For the battle axes cashin’ in On truth denial gasses Maskin’ babies bodies buried in The Stormy normalcy And no apology for Johnny See why Colin took a knee? Or did you miss the racial murders Every single ******* day I guess you missed the homelessness Or the unequal gender pay And when the kids take to the streets You shut them up with adderall Then seal them up behind a wall Until their world’s a shopping mall And then the Columbine each time A new disorder Breaks the mind Until the Nero anti-hero Comes to muse of its decline

By autocrat I mean a domineering bossy pseudo-dictator of a basically free country. No, I say, and he's doing a good job, but he has thing kinda harsh peopled following that probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for certain pink lazy young people infiltrating the power structures of this country. That sounds far-fetched, I know, and the babbling of a jealous old man, but that's my hunch - there are too many young people in high school who come home and plop themselves down on the couch to a bunch of inane TV with a whole bag of Lay's potato chips at their fingertips, irritating their right-winged father, cheating afterward, and getting educated in a technical field and offending dangerous psychotics off the street. If Trump would just correct that and not take his hang ups out on us Latinos (I'm partially Mexican, Puerto Rican, South American, and Spanish, so far as I know) and Muslims like me, this country wouldn't disintegrate with mass murderers and such, who might have delusions that Trump is their der fuhrer. He's kind of a know-it0all and becoming autocratic as it would seem. He could prevent this from coming to full fruition by just minding the liberal media a little bit.

Donald Trump - Is He a Thriving Autocrat Already
Lawrence Hall, HSG [email protected] Dispatches for the Colonial Office                    But Mom, All the Cool Kids are into Genocide!                        “Students! Be the Fuhrer’s Propagandists!”           **** poster ca. 1933, per Library of Congress: [Studenten seid           Propagandisten des Führers Hoch-u. Fachschulen bekennen           sich am 29. März zur Deutschen Freiheitsbewegung /           (loc.gov)] All the cool kids are into genocide Slogans and posters and bullhorns and cries Abandoning their studies to march outside And scream the same 2,000-year-old lies The InterGossip commands, and they obey Blocking the streets and clenching each fist Waving misspelt signs and yelling all day Never pausing to ask if there’s something they’ve missed Am I a hollow echo for some sycophant’s squall? Will I fail to think for myself at all?
