Just Following Orders

Folder: 
Nihillism

Piles and piles of bodies

ready for incineration

 

The stench is unbearable

but the workers continue on

never the less

 

They themselves are beginning

to resemble their fallen brethren

 

With machine guns just a few 

yards away aimed at their heads

 

Just following orders the german

guards have been ordered to shoot

to kill if the workers fall out of line

from exaustion.

 

It is of little consequence to them

whats the point

anyways when these people are already dead.

 

What mein fuhrer says is law

those who defy him meet

the same fate as the jews.

 

the show must go on.
