Dietrich and A President Who Declares “They Can Kiss My Ass!”

They were dragging off the Jews to the

Death Camps

And you saw it early on and

Called the Question

Of who will stand up against

The tyranny and destruction

Of persons, family, friends, neighbors,

And strangers as well

And foreigners as well,

Persons, human beings,

To say nothing of the demolition of democracy.

This is not hero’s work, but it does take

Courage.

You had it. From where and from whom did it come?

I think I know.

Your courage shows me a way to find my own.

I will not stand by and let Christ be used as a

Bludgeoning Hammer

Against persons our predilections pronounce vermin.

Jesus Christ within you brought death to you as you would not let Christ be crucified again.

What about me?

When I do not stand and watch but rather engage, what will become of me?

What kind of question is that!?

An honest one, and embarrassing.

But now that the battle is no longer academic or armchair

I need help.

You wrote “Who Am I?” and I have an actual

Copy of a Copy

Of the Original.

But now it’s even closer to home.

Who Am I?

I need help.
