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. ©2005 by icebox |

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! Love, Light, Peace, & Harmony, EA |

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 |

For readers interested in historical perspective, one intriguing read is: http://www.wargamesdirectory.com/html/articles/HitlersPanzersEast/5.asp 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 |
