Righteous Amongst Nations

Adolf doesn’t like to be told what to do

least of all, by Gestapo.

In his circus, race and religion

are smoke and mirrors –

When a tightrope walker

asks why he is hiding Jews

he gives him a tongue lashing

and sends him packing.

After the war, at a lavish ceremony

he receives a gold medal

from the Israeli Ambassador

but doesn’t like to be told

to make a speech on the podium

it seems a bit of a circus.
