I like Germany
I like the Germans
I have friends there
I worked for a time
near Frankfurt
And I visit Berlin
often
It’s my favourite city
They are nice people
Friendly and welcoming
They share our hopes
And our aspirations
We are so alike
We have always been
alike
Well almost always
There were dark days
When they were seduced
by evil
And let themselves
down
So what happened?
What infected this nation?
This nation so like
ourselves
How did the madness
take them?
Why did they become
inhuman?
Why did they set a new
benchmark?
In their inhumanity
Why did the good
people not rise up?
And oppose the evil
Why did they fail to
stop it
Were the jews so bad
So unworthy of pity
Too worthless to be
considered
For whatever reason it
happened
They let it happen
The worst of them
profited by it
The best of them
turned a blind eye to it
But they were all
guilty
And after the war
I think they felt the
guilt
But they feel no guilt
now
Now they try to hide
behind a lie
Pretending it wasn’t
really that bad
There were just a few
bad men
And they are gone now
The Americans
exaggerated everything
There were isolated
incidents
No more than that
Let’s speak of it no more
Lest we offend Islam
Well Islam should be
offended
As it was the Turks of
the Ottoman empire
Who taught their
German allies
The meaning of
Holocaust
When they annihilated
the Armenians
I say let’s speak of
it
Let’s never stop
speaking of it
And if offence is
caused, then so be it
If it prevents it’s
like
From ever happening
again
