POWER.
HIS VOICE CARRIED THROUGH THE CROWD.
HATE.
DISTINGUISHABLE IN EVERY SOUND.
AS HE PREACHED
THE LISTENERS BECAME ENCHANTED, HYPNOTIZED.
PULLED DOWN INTO THE WHIRLPOOL
OF HIS WORDS
AFTER THE END OF THE SPEECH
ALL RAISED THEIR ARMS IN SALUTE
NOT KNOWING, NOT THINKING
OF WHAT THEY WERE SAYING
STILL CONFUSED, TAKEN IN BY HIS MIGHTY WORDS
FOR HIS WORDS WERE POWER, HIS WORDS WERE TEETH
SWAYING ANY OPINION WHO LISTENED IN SECONDS
HE COMMANDED, INSTRUCTED FOR HATE, FOR WAR
AND THEY ALL FOLLOWED DUTIFULLY LIKE SHEEP
TO THEIR ULTIMATE DOOM
AS ALL ARMS CAME UP
ONLY TWO WORDS WERE DISCERNIBLE
AS ALL THE CROWD SPOKE,
“HAIL, HITLER”
