The hegemony of Nazi ethics and aesthetics
haunts the present unti global condemnation
elicits a universal response for positive
historical understanding, change and action,
effortlessly affirming clarity, not delusion,
given the ease of leaders to shamelessly fool
even their own constituents to get the vote,
mandates of assent by a majority decision
only pull the proverbial wool over all our eyes,
needlessly allowing authoritarians to rule,
yet, in an alleged democracy or republic
of checks and balances, power falls evenly,
fortuitously, over time when change is due.
Nationalist policies spread between the wars,
as financial depression enforced the market
zero returns on bad speculations, machines
in Europe, against harsh economic sanctions
engaged a nation to build before all others,
taking the world by surprise by infiltrating
honored borders until it became much too late
in the eleventh hour to find a way to overcome
concentration camps and propaganda, a war
started as revolt against values of restrictions
against erroneous beliefs, when eugenics
not only thrived as a science, its acceptance
determined that millions would die in camps
assessed by the powers that be as acceptable
even for those interned in these sham camps
set up to fool outside observers of actions
taken elsewhere where death and suffering,
however unreasonable, became the norm,
entering into a no-win situation for all parties,
though the Nazi commandants regarded
ignorance of karma and faith in swastikas
created a well-operated system of camps
secure in one goal, ridding Europe of vermin.
