Cats in the dark,
leather and steel
silver on black,
we came to attack;
with a song on our lips
and the night at our back,
in great metal beasts
full of young supermen,
we raced for the dawn
through forest and field;
churning the world into waste,
we came to make history a personal story.

Tigers in heat,
lightning and fang
thunder and claw,
we charged at the sun
then mounted the road
turned to the south
then fire and load
then fire and load...
no quarter no mercy,
we butchered them all
laughed at their fall
grinding the pieces into the dirt,
the new Master Race killing children for glory.

A far too real rendition of a shameful piece in the puzzle of human history.

You packed a powerful punch to the solar plexus of this reader! ~ You are one fine writer, Dear Box of Ice!

I'm remembering things that I don't want to through your words, and I think it might be necessary, not to forget...

Gripping write, thank you

what a time,
such a shame,
men and all their glory
to take and control~
not a care for humanity
integrity, or life of another~
men and war
ship to shore
society of brother~
hood~
wood~
`just because they
could~
so many players
oh what a game~
but the faces
some the same
yet different name~
a war quite like
none before~
do they really think
or just see how to score~
like the pied piper
playing such a sound~
created from underground~
create new diseases~ germwarfare
create new drugs~    smithkline
oh the new jobs, how these rats
(we)shall please us~
make us rich
theyll just die
or the drugs (tested) shall be
addicted and fill the land
with toxins as lie in a ditch~
well when you couldnt control
new sexual disease came~
then drugs, companies, many different
doctors, specially trained,
make em rich, the chaos
they shall not see what hit
but hear of the fame~
all blame another, yet all
are related~
world peace,
not unless all stop
and thing before that drink
think before that pill
grow your own food
as their cancer
spreads, a silent war
lost souls, created by man
become addicted
their rich
we did all the suffering
and its us  they kill~
make money off us one way
are another. change love to lust
their greed    their seed
even the dust~
watch you day and night~
drug you   such a sight~
ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET
i heard when you put it in
soup  all die~
when you wont become their whore~
when you stand and walk out the door~
they know how to play
your their money maker
its a mans world
thats what they was told~
but look what it has given
and look  even their own family they sold~
so many lies
so many games
so many tests
in the end
population is thined
as their "beef" got fat
dantes hell
you say
doesnt matter
all will be gone
as ones before
even they was lied to
as ones before
then they came
and took
watch out
all become enemies
as no one cares
to stop and shout~
or take the time
and look closely
all before   and after
inbetween  and all about~
when real thunder roars
look to the sky
a perfect race~
with such disgrace~
missles all over
planted in the ground
do you remember
missouri
when that took place~
like the music, the tv, the news
the drugs, the monsters they created,
back in 39
69
even invisible soldiers
oh the planes
the storms
even the rain
a testing ground
for all the insane~
SO REALLY
WHO DO YOU THINK
WILL REMAIN
the human robots
that might burst into flame
maybe one smart enough
who cares enough
about life
and living
and this land
who as they claim
is really not insane
but one by another name
woman are so smart
thats why man used us
only for their gain~
subserviant i was told
women should never have been
allowed to vote
do as told
even when sold~
steal from the rich
their child can end in rags
and ly in a ditch
their little barbie doll
when we get our hands on her
she shall fall
and with wood and flame
poison and wine
back to the dark ages
as before
locked above in prison cages~
whats real and whats not
whats need to survive is too high
to pay
one way to get rich and keep the parents
away
so new soldiers placed
to keep chaos in
while they get rich
by using all for sin
sex drugs  rock and roll
angels came and twisted~
mind  contol
ghosts,aliens, blast from the past~
cant know experiment or where they come
from  but they know they worked~
they can sneak in your house
fill you with bugs and louse~
handprint bruises,where they used
your spouse~
rebellous rebells
play hells bells
how life ends
cant you smell
the smell~
or remember
when you was taken
and then the spell
fell
who
shall
tell
who won who lost i dont know do you
WHO CARES

  I CARE  

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH
   NOW WHATS ONLY FAIR
ITS YOUR TURN
   CANT CHANGE BACK TIME
  BUT CAN PUT BACK
       WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS AND MINE

  sorry but this reply is long
but not as long as the hell of a life
that all started  with words from the
underground
    predict and create
       karma shall be a liars fate
    as hate cant see love or truth
          we cant see truth when we are not
    as one     spirit soul heart   light
        thats when  WHATS HAPPENING IN AMERICA   THEIR BECOMING AS ONE
         cant allow all to see as they do
      for ones who really took control
         and placed you in your sorry ass
            hatin role
   no women allowed     get the babies
     then turn them to whores   then kill them   when they try to take a stand  for they  are typhoid mary  a wars right hand
      create killers who can thin the population    sacrifices   scape goat gets
locked up   who will believe or even try to really defend.  
    like a seed    a gripe rape  
(a ripe grape)  aged to a fine whine
or maybe a filly for that mustand ranch or bunny  sin is their money maker
      conquer and divide
         who won who lied who tried who
     really died
      

            human robot  stepford wives
      the things ive been told
          ways been sold
      never loved never a true hold
           i am not crazy lazy deaf dumb
     nor blind. not your door mat scapegoat
        mule, camel, puppet,monkey
            lab rat  never my choice
     hotel california  and the insane that they let breed.   mix with the rich then push and pull and take and strip and rape
   man made bitch  man made whore
        id like to meet him
      then  let god   settle the score
          love cant conquer
              with an uneven number
     get rich of the sad songs they sing
         words they write  become anothers song,story, history is made, the buck is passed,  poor smart girl  like ones that were gassed~    to get free  they take
   damn them all   into  hell  rid of the lies  and the fake     denial and pride
     oh what a ride    memories do come back      like words spoken to see the circles of who's who~

degrading self at times  
when traces of their control~
spun and twisted body and soul
what a movie    
learned to see who casted the role~
set up, took bait, so i can be heard
no longer is this  cage
holding back this spirit  or soul
nor is darkness  placing light
to rage   patience is a virture
world peace   might be too late
   just what gave you the right~~~~


  

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

For readers interested in historical perspective, one intriguing read is:

Mr. C....as you can see, you peeked my interest.  Your first person description leads me to believe you have "memories" of the battle.  I am glad to say, I do not, at least not this battle.  Thank you for the nudge to study a little.  The poem is substantive and stirring.     ....jo

icey?

you always teach me when you tell a story and I love that and you sent me searching once again.  

I found an article that was most disturbing but it is history and it did happen and it is our duty, as writers, to write of that.

I hang my head for the past, the present and the future.  But I raise my fist to the sky and I praise you . . . for seeing truth.

When awareness dawns within our hearts that humanity is still wasting its potential of love and brotherhood, then we may be able to move the first steps towards another way of life ... the way of love.

Dear icebox, I understand such memories weigh heavily, but I do hope you find peace within, while stirring people's consciousness and opening their eyes.

Every new day offers a new chance to move on and to change. Your heart knows.

Thank you ... always.

Love,
Margherita

Adolf

Fear and greed
Being aides
Help me lead the crowd to war

Or in peace
To gain the world
With equal praise
As CEO

Each time demands its uniforms
Yet still the fact remains

Those who prey
Need not dismay
A lack of sheep for slaughtering
