If you had been there

If you had been there

If you had been there, you would have known,
When the war broke out as a cold sore.
If you had been there you would have known,
About all who fought and are now long gone.

On a warm and humid evening,
Calmly the German came.
Blasting their weapons,
Herding millions of men as it were a game.

They wanted unity and perfection.
They wanted all Jews and difference gone.
Ha! They could stand no objection.
They would kill all deformed sons.

There could be no rebels,
Otherwise they would be gone forever.
The leader controlled everything and all,
Even the worst of all brawls.

A battle arose and bonds were torn loose,
But some united and kicked plenty kaboose.
Planes in the sky, bombs in the air,
Sudden explosions that made things unfair.
People were trapped, if not already killed,
But justice wouldn’t stop even if death rates were filled.

New days had to dawn, they seemed eternally lost.
Everyone knew the war had a great cost,
But it was needed, needed it was.
The mere thirst for clangorous war was the cause.

Nations everywhere fought with great power.
Their hands were tough and their faces sour.
The opposing forces were quite strong,
But slowly reducing; they knew they were wrong.

Finally the battle reached its peak.
Many wished it back, wished it wasn’t death they found.
It was all left to meticulous technique,
And quickly there was no more suffering sounds.

The leader now walked in the crowd in complete darkness.
It seems he couldn’t hold the harness.
People got sick or suffered, others died;
It finally stopped with a hard collide.
But the leader ran away,
Because he knew he couldn’t stay.
