Nazi Ecstacy

Hitler, Hitler

What have you done?

Thinking you can rule

Using ammunition and gun

You were so consumed

With might and power

With your explosive behaviour

You wanted to tower

Above nations

Around the world

With destruction

They were hurled

Destroying lands

And human life

As you continued

With war and strife

You seemed to forget

The Most High

This is a force

You could not get by

This led to disaster

You could not defeat

It knocked you over

Off your feet

You lost the war

And your dictatorship

Because the Creator

You forgot to worship

Was it really worth it

Seeking absolute control?

But in the process

Losing your soul

You have become

A sad memory

You were actually just

Your own worst enemy

There’s only one Ruler

We must accept

This is the healthiest

And best precept
