Mein Führer, You are absolutely right.
Of course You are,
You are the leader,
the only one who knows the truth.
And I am willing to obey
every single order You give me.
I will execute every new task with joy.
He is always right.
How could He not be?
He belongs to the Master Race,
just like me,
but I am just His will-less slave.
I only want to obey
and help Him kill those shameful creatures.
those creatures are not worth the air they breathe,
they consume the air We need to live,
they occupy living space that belongs to Us.
they need to be wiped from the face of Our Earth!
Ja, mein Führer! Sofort! Ich eile!

I had no idea that there was a connection between those murders and the ideology of Adolf Hitler. Scary stuff!
Your piece is welldone and powerful.
-
I really enjoyed this, might I say I loved it. It really highlights the ideologies and power Hitler had very well, dramatically convincing. I love how you made the last line German as it adds flavour and a sense of deeper history and meaning and furthermore makes the poem have a patriotic feeling. Nice work

wow, this is unique and I love it, so different so special and genuine. I admire you for writing something outside the norm
-
such a relief to read this and thank you for entering
-
I am not familiar with the play, nor the Moors Murders either.
You have written quite an eerie poem actually, and I think you've done well!
thanks for entering the contest, I wish you the best of luck!

I'm not quite sure as to what the piece is about, other than following your leader. It felt like you could have been a bit more clear in your description. Still, I think you portrayed the feeling of following someone no matter what, very well!
-
wonderfully dark, loved this. Thanks for entering and good luck
-
wow this is a good poem and a very interesting subject to choose. good job
-
Thank you for entering my contest!
don't really know what to make off this... i can sort of see the connection between blindly following a leader and the hindley murders, but i don't think that would be clear with your authors comments not being there, and most poems have to stand on their own! but well done on trying to tackle such a difficult topic.
Good luck in the future. -
very dark and twisted. But yyou can feel the committment of the people whowere so brain washed to believe such hate. Thnk you for the entry~~ Hara

wow this is probably the most intresting dark poem I've gotten by far in this contest. It's intresting to see the psyche of the person speaking in this poem. Very unique write, thanks for entering.

Excellent and interesting piece I wish you the best of luck in the contest Submissions for Poetry Magazine. by Norman Crabtree. 550 points, ends November 16, 48 entries

Ahh interesting, definitely my favourite piece so far (and thanks for giving me your name =)). It's hard to say whether people "following orders" are...inherently evil. I'm not sure they are, because if they don't they and probably their families would be killed so...it's open to debate.
You've written an extremely gruesome subject very well. Good luck in the contest (and the others) and take care x
-
Wow! I like this. You've written something very good!! Good luck!

I like the way the person is convinced that he's doing, according to someone else, the right thing. This reminds me of the 'I was following orders' when people are brought to task for the evil they have done.
Well done, with a good flow and deep inner meaning.
Thank you for entering, and good luck in the contest.
-
Wow, you have penned something special here. I know Hitler was absolutely terrible and the moors murderers were dreadful people but your poem is very good. My favourite lines are:
And I am willing to obey
every single order You give me.
I will execute every new task with joy.
Thank you for your entry.

i love this it was amazing really captures the minset of 39
-
This isn't something you usually read on this site, and even though it was nice to see something new it made me a little queezy. When it comes to blood and serial killers and every thing related to that I get a little freaked out. I'm pretty jumpy. But I can't deny it was a good poem. Thanks for entering
-
And to think: today this could be written in a way to be pointed towards many cultures and groups around the world. People say "we've grown since then" but, have we really?
Good piece.
-
I love this. I love how you have the diffrent style and language. It is very deep and wonderful. God bless you in all that you do.

Ergh, it just sounds so shocking. Starting the poem with "Mein Führer" and ending it with "Ja, mein Führer! Sofort! Ich eile!" Made it particularly effective. It conveyed how sickening the whole thing really was and gives some sense of how they justified their actions.
Using the capital letters on "Us" and "Our" also work well...they again help convey the Nazi's sense of mind - Almost as if they'd been brainwashed or something.
*shudders* it makes me think back to when we had to sit in a history class and look at horrific slideshows of people walking into pits and getting shot. They really do engrave into you mind.
Anyway well done
-
I think this is very good. Good enough to give to a teacher

oh-my-effin-god! I saw the words Ian and Myra & shrieked a little. I loved this peice (I have an odd and obsessive fasination with serial killers so this totally caught my attention)
although I often get them confused with the Ken & Barbie murderers
::is done rambling::
badass and awesometastic

It is horrible to think what state of minds they had. This is probably a good insight.
-
I can see what you mean. I was sorry to read it, I had family die in his furore of bloody war.
Think ONLY good thoughts.
Brady Hindley are EVIL
Peace to the world and the minds of men
