The Nazi Within

 

 

Have you ever met 

The Nazi within you?

It lives in us all,

It carries his big book,

Of right and wrong,

Singing the words,

Condemnation is its song.

 

 

And a cute little mustache,

All trimmed and so neat,

I accept that it's there,

But I don't kiss its feet.

 

It has not a gender

Or place to be put,

It just lays in the pit of us all,

Like soot.

 

Like a pile of ashes,

N'er to be reborn,

Its in love with itself,

And enjoys only scorn.

 

It doesn' t smell sweet.

Oh good. Can always enjoy an exchange of soot. Thing is...it is eternal and changes little. Only hope is to accept it exists. But you keep trying because it makes you who you are, popeye~poisonshu~hoover~chimney sweep~
