FROM HERR HITLER TO HIS PEOPLE, by MARION TARR MOODY First Line: The fatherland shall reign supreme and I Last Line: These eyes that watch, though dead, for my downfall. Subject(s): Hitler, Adolf (1889-1945) | |||
The Fatherland shall reign supreme and I Declare my right to rule by sword because I gained my power making people die, Nor let the cries of babies give me pause. My people shall I purge of alien blood, And breed a race of Germans on this earth, That shall submerge all others, as a flood Submerges land. The Warrior God's re-birth Shall be because I will it. Arm in arm, We shall re-plot the world, taking care To wipe out all who ever wished us harm. I'll walk with Mars. We'll be a merry pair. But I must find a way to banish all These eyes that watch, though dead, for my downfall. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT by LISEL MUELLER THE WIDOW OF THE BEAST OF INGOLSTADT by NORMAN DUBIE HITLER'S FIRST PHOTOGRAPH by WISLAWA SZYMBORSKA GHOSTS WALK UPON THEIR GRAVES by NEAL GALLATIN FOOTNOTE: ADOLPH HITLER, GERMAN CHANCELLOR, 1933 by HENRY HARRISON HITLER YOUTH (PANZER DIVISION) by ADA JACKSON SATURDAY IN VIENNA, 1920 by B.
