This can't be happening
[Not again]
Serenity ends
before it begins.
Ignorance corrodes within,
and we're back where we started.
This can't be happening.
[what's next?]
Forced concentrations
in chambers of gas?
The actions of one blamed on the mass?
and we're back where we started.
I'm sorry Hitler
but a turban and Quran
doesn't make you a "dirty jew"
Can you not understand?
Christians are terrorists too.
This can't be happening.
Victims on the street
are stabbed by cold stares
for things they believe or they wear?
and we're back where we started.
I'm sorry Hitler
but a turban and Quran
doesn't make you a "dirty jew"
Can you not understand?
Christians are terrorists too.
Should I wear a purple triangle?
Should she wear a golden star?
Cause that's what we're aiming for.
It starts with a stare which turns to a scar.
..and ends with a war
but what are we fighting for?
I thought we were the good guys
Did the Nazis think that too?
I'm sorry Hitler
but there is no "dirty" jew.
Author notes
It pisses me off when people stereotype everyone in the Muslim faith as terrorists.
Please tell me what you think

I re-read this poem and liked it a lot more than the first time. So here's what I will say.
This will not help you in the poetry slam. It's too anti-everyone and to controversial. Which, to me, means therefore it's an EXCELLENT poem. B/c It is a great piece of work.
I would really like personally to explore the other symbols of the Holocaust, though I believe you would do a far better job than me. think about it -

I agree that this won't go far in the poetry slam.. cause it's way too controversial.. but that's why I'm going to read it. I'd much rather fail trying to speak my mind then recite one of my emo poems and get to the next round. =]
Other symbols of the holocaust? Sounds interesting. I might have to do some exploring.
