Deep
Deeper
Into
The lush undergrowth
The burning shore and azure water there ahead
I step lightly, swiftly, wanting
To feel hot dew balls of sweat on my scarlet skin
To feel free and alive inside
As I sweep through the baking heat.
Quickly, Go!
This place is killing me.
My heart slows
Down, Down, Down
If I don’t run I’ll turn to stone
I fear I’ll never leave this place
A monolith to failure
A statue in an empty room
Into
The lush undergrowth
The burning shore and azure water there ahead
I step lightly, swiftly, wanting
To feel hot dew balls of sweat on my scarlet skin
To feel free and alive inside
As I sweep through the baking heat.
Quickly, Go!
This place is killing me.
My heart slows
Down, Down, Down
If I don’t run I’ll turn to stone
I fear I’ll never leave this place
A monolith to failure
A statue in an empty room
Vines will wrap their clawing tendrils
Once, Twice
'Round.
Like Medusa’s serpents, imprison me:
Like a forgotten ruin, coddle me,
And suffocate this dream of mine.

wow. helluva first post, b.
i love this and i have felt the same. thanks for putting it into words. do write more...
Sorry to be replying to your post here in reply to mine... the series you're talking about is "Hitler's Children", right? The Guido Knopp one?
thankyou to everyone who popped by, I'm much obliged, cheers!
mauser, heres the link. I don't think the series comes from a book. It is a collection of recollections of former Hitler Youth kids and an amazing array of propogandist footage from the time.
