Herr Hitler led the Nazis
…To kill six million Jews.
Ukraine was starved by Stalin;
…The Times left out that news.
And Mao? Forty million.
…And Leopold just ten.
And Tojo’s tiny numbers
…Of five are really thin.
Gas chambers and the Gulag,
…The farms raped of their yields,
Were killing rooms for devils
…Like Pol Pot’s killing fields.
More than did all the monsters
…Kill in their bloody quests
Have we in America
…Killed while still in their nests.
Our count? Now sixty million.
…And what’s our killing room?
We kill them in their nurs’ry:
…We kill them in the womb.
