He crumbled,
Body and mind,
His life built on delusion,
His nation followed his delusion,
And even in those final days
In the bunker he held on to
Ideas of imperialistic glory
Before shooting himself
In the head like a coward;
Would future generations
Even believe that such
Cruelty was possible?
Would they avoid the
Folly of his antisemitism?
Would they have
The courage to hold
Fast to their humanity?
Only time will tell.
