Killing Hitler

Killing Hitler

Seeing Hitler as a child newly born;

Knowing what he, as an adult would do;

Imagine that you were like Robert Thorn,

Who wanted to stop The Omen Part Two.

If you were willing to commit the act,

And, in his crib, baby Adolf you killed,

Would war be prevented before the fact?

Would world peace reign and aggression be stilled?

Ultimately, would goodness fare greater

If his death created a vacancy?

The chances are, another dictator

Would lead to a similar agency

And future generations still would say,

“Never again”, and repeat anyway.
