HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HERR HITLER?

by Constantin von Hoffmeister


april 20, 2009:
born 120 years ago
on a field beneath a cow
grew to be a beast
tried to smash other beasts
the beast roared like a lion
but the lion would not be caged
and left on his own accord
goodbye!
 
like him or not:
hitler was a millennium man
one of a kind
a genius and a warrior
sun and lightning
like genghis khan he marauded
like shakespeare he penned verses
and like a god he sat in the fire
of his paradise devastated
waiting for the end
that came all to quickly
he sighed and put a bullet
in his head
eva's head resting dead on his lap
hitler was the last man of the 20th century
and the first of the 21st
 
and give him flowers
he will smile
bow down and kiss the child on the forehead
he liked children and dogs
and once a week a truck came
inside the truck were 10,000 niggers
they beat drums and hollered mightily
hitler enjoyed this spectacle
from his balcony in berchtesgaden
drinking a sip of water and eating a carrot
the stick in his trousers bulging
goering eating deer in the red room
goebbels licking female fingers in the green room
hitler smiled at the world that was all his
