ich bin goebbels?
in 1933
the nazis burned
20,000 books here in bebelplatz
einstein and mann and marx
amongst many others
hitler’s swanky old lapdog, goebbels
gave one of his inspirational speeches beforehand
now there is a monument of shame
dedicated to the night
a borrowing library
cushioned seats that you can sit in
to soak up the little bits of german sun
you can think of history
lost and gained here in bebelplatz
how the world doesn’t need goebbels
when it has shit like ISIS and Fox News
israeli zionists
republican controlled congresses
and modern day parents
think about how the world
keeps spinning on its own rusty axis
without any sense of history
like right now
i’m thinking about all the shitty books
written by poets that are out there
the ones i’d take a match to and burn
if only people wouldn't get
the wrong idea about me.
