"JUDGMENT!"
Judgment has spoken - With calm relentless voice, Hitler's henchmen stand condemned For acts of their own choice. Crimes against humanity! • Sabotage of Peace! Violated codes of War! Of these they took grim lease. Gone are the arrogant gestures, The cynical smile, the haughty mein, Defences shattered on the Rock of Truth, , Reveal the criminal nineteen, Deserted by 'the leader', Who took the coward's way, They lived to face humanity's Stern accounting day! The hand of justice falls, The price is paid! Oblivion claims the guilty, Imposed atonement made. History's blood-stained curtain falls, But a world will long remember, The holocaust their hate released That fatal '39 September. .
White crosses' in their millions stand, Grim accusers of the Nazi shame, Broken, blasted souls live on To curse a hated name. Time will roll from age to age, Nations rise and fall, But the shame o'f Nazi Germany Will outlast all. William R. Whiteside.
