“Nazis Were Nice People! (Sonnet)
If you steal from the thieves,
can they call the cops!
If you heist from the blackmarket,
is it really a crime!
If you rob the British Museum,
isn't it a humanitarian initiative!
If you blast Mount Rushmore to ashes,
isn't it really public service!
Nazis are the most dehumanized community in history,
while empires with hundred times the atrocity
walk like they invented morality.
Nazis were really nice people,
they just wanted what's best for the world -
tickles you the wrong way, doesn't it,
yet you idolize buckingham and the pilgrims!”
― With Love From A Blue Rock
