For my generation one event turns us sick
Makes each of us rigid with horror as we
Remember imprisonment and starving
Of Jewish citizens in the expanded New
Reich of Adolph Hitler and henchmen
We knew then that they were us
On another side of the world the horror
Of atomic energy melted down two
Cities of Japan snuffing out thousands
Of lives as US bombs end the carnage
Stopping a war to save millions of lives
We knew then that they were us
German and Japanese leaders began
World War Two for expansion conquest
The United States and Allied nations
Prove the absolute need to police world peace
Making sure that it never happens again
You know I won't go into my political views in the comment box but I will comment on the poem..) A well written piece here with the repetition of the 'they/us' concept making quite an impact... nice work, my friend!
