A Swastika Song (Mixed Feelings)
Would you love a Nazi
If you had to choose
Between a living Fuhrer
And the dying Jews?
I don't love the Nazis,
Goebbels was bad news,
But the murder of the Fatherland
Is giving me the blues.
You may think me crazy
But what have I to lose?
I'm trapped by your hostility
And an angry German muse.
(this poem is about the conflict between guilt and patriotism in the modern German psyche)
