Only Moments To Go Poem by lalitha iyer

I feel
I am in the camp
camp of Hitler's
that Nazi camp
where everybody counted
moments and only moments
anytime shots may be fired
how do lives he dared
to kill so many
all lovely kids
and dear wives
and loving husbands
and just humanity
the hope of sanity
he killed
sanctity he raped
armies seeding sons
with no father to name
women pregnant with
but only misery welled
oh! it is paining
to think of
to watch the cruelty
of families butchered
burnt, poisoned and gassed
teriibly sad am I
lives no more sure
this man-the harbinger of Dark fears
whose heart was icy
and mind too crazy
a horror in frenzy
Evil in lunacy
Errored in fantasy
Terror of cruelty
my dear Jewbloods
they as cabbages we cut
were shaved from bodies
and shoved off
treated as sausages
and sundry wastages

how many lovely dreams
he smashed
how many loving maids
he crashed
he raped his country women
by enemy men
and raped other women
with his own armies
I wonder
why nature with all beauties
ever bear creature of oddities
