Post Nuremberg -A table awaits

Post Nuremberg -A table awaits

A Poem by John Butler
"

The Nazi's have been tried and hung at Nuremberg for their heinous war crimes.A table awaits them in Hell!

"
A table awaits, holding a place
In the foulest depths of Hell
'Sit down!, Sit down! echoes all round
'You!,with the tales to tell!'

'You!, who wielded the bull whip pain
As the children entered the gates
Stripping their clothes, and the flesh off their backs
As they stepped from the coffin-like train

The table was dank,unfathomable length
Stretching deep into the bowels
Tankards were raised, evil was praised
'Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! came the howls

'Join us!' They screamed, your place has been set'
An empty chair loomed in the mire
The Angel of Death sat down in his seat
'Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! now a choir

A ball of dank flame seared through his soul
Piercing pain shattered his brain.
The screams of his victims fell on his ears
Again and Again and Again!

The table then shook and broke from it's roots!
Taking off in the blackest of skies
Flying back to the Camps and the millions who died
To the wails, and the sobs, and the cries!

That spectral table hovered in flight
As thousands were gassed down below
And flesh filled the ovens and ash filled the night!
The Devil roared 'Didn't you know?!'

Yes, a table still waits, holding a place
In the foulest depths of Hell
'Sit down! Sit down!'will echoe all round
'You!, with the tales to tell!
