Different Breed Of Human Being Poem by ronald stroman

the Germans:
once said many many decades ago
that they were a "different breed" of human being
and that the Jews
as well as… many others had:
no meaningful purpose in Deutschland
or any other place on the planet

in the end

the Russians showed them
(after the Germans invaded the Soviet Union) :
they had similar feelings
when they entered Berlin during WW2
with "revenging" devils
after revealing in Poland:
they also had a dis-like for Poles
when the Russians murdered
over 20,000 Polish Officers of Poland's army
that they buried in Katyn forest.

when I mention the French
it's only because what they did:
as a different breed of human being
in Indo-China and Algerian- type places
after what the Germans
had did to them during WW2
that should have been
a hard lesson learned later
that spoke about treatin' others
as one "chose" to be treated

that America

in Vietnam failed to understand too:
that no country
regardless of race/creed/color
wants to be militarily subdued with invasions
whether it's France / Iraq or Afghanistan.

it's 2013
and many are seeing that even six-day wars
can easily create a holocaust of trouble
in the Middle-East or Africa
when a different breed of human being
for Christian or Muslim reasons:
decides one's cultural differences
or religious preferences
if it's different from theirs
in Rwanda or Darfur ought to be destroyed.

once they said
meaning (the U.N.) :
that what the Turks did to the Armenians
the Russians to the Ukrainians
the Japanese to the Chinese
the Germans to the Jews
the Hutu to the Tutsis
and so many others to others
once they said, meaning
(those against genocide) :
that Guatemala and the Sudan
as well as-
other genocidal places
should never happen again in Cambodia
like what happened: to the Bosnian Muslims
when the Serbs in Sbrenika in 1992
caused a "holocaust of trouble."

once they said
meaning (decent human beings) :
that genocide should never happen
anywhere in the world
at any time
which so many know now
has become a dead echo
from rusty gas chambers and U.N. building
especially for those who lie dead now
burned alive or hacked to death
with blood still on genocide's machete
now held in the hand of
a different breed of human being
with "some" being once the victim
and now revengeful enough
to become the "perpetrator."

they finally say:
meaning (a different breed of Jew in Israel)
that even if…
it takes six Jewish days or six Egyptian nights
(the world will know)
that there will be no more mass graves
or Jewish holidays with crematoriums:
"planned" in their future.
