Struck Down With A Thunderbolt Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

On the day
Adolf Hitler
was born

why did God
not strike
him down

with a thunderbolt?
And thereby do
six million Jews

doomed
to be gassed
terminated


in the final solution


and all their
descendants
his chosen people

doomed never to be born
a merciful favour
by killing the little demon

incarnate before he
grew up to seize
tyrannical power?

Why did God
not strike
him down


and do an entire world


a merciful favour
by killing Adolf Hitler
before he deliberately

absorbed that demon
into himself from within
The Spear of Destiny?
