we about to put the past on blast as we get into wwII    a war that would change the world forever
so sit back strap in it’s a little long but your gonna like it so here we go…
While FDR tinkered with his plan at home
Adolf Hitler was scheming to install his own
New Deal for his people- a Nazi resurgence
A plan for the Third Reich to make an emergence
Burning books from the past, inventing new
stories
Youth sent to camps to brainwash with glory
Spreading master race theory and utter defiance
No more blame no more guilt forget world compliance
And the Jews were the scapegoats of all this
frustration
‘Innocents’ blamed for the pain of a Nation
I.D.’d. marked and hunted like dogs by the
law
As ghettos would spread from Berlin to Warsaw
The world watched as the Fuhrer kept building
his power
Massive armies and weapons and camps by the
hour
And Germany rose while they all scratched
their heads
Chamberlain tried appeasement, but got lies
instead
Since the last one left Europe shell-shocked
and fatigued
Hitler saw weakness and launched his BLITZKREIG
First Poland then Belgium and a quick push
to Stalin
If War was a Hoop-game you’d say he was
ballin’
And Japan had its eyes on its half of the
Axis
Had less care for China than Trump does for
taxes
Invasion, destruction quest for domination
Raped women, burned towns, inhumane devastation
And the world started freaking as these leaders
persisted
The Axis of Power was now double-fisted
The Allies now scrambled against this invasion
And of course sent the US a big invitation
But War was not something we wanted or needed
The Depression continued we’d yet to defeat
it
And new Acts were passed to make clear and
ensure
That neutral were we when it came to this
War.
First Cash and then Carry come buy it and
take it
On your ships not ours if you think you can
make it
But as Hitler pressed on no sign of him ceasing
Our Policy changed and we were now Leasing
And Lending supplies still neutral in theory
But truth was the allies were getting too
weary
So FDR acted Put his wheels in Motion
To train troops for battle across the great
ocean
Enacted a draft the first ever in Peacetime
And sanctioned Japan for their methods and
war crimes
And he met his boy Winston to plan future
peace
To Charter a Course to improve and increase
A world of free trade, and respect for all
nations
To plan post-war peace with a stronger foundation
But from out of nowhere one clear Sunday morning
Japanese bombers attacked without warning
An act of pure terror caught us unprepared
This War was official now Congress declared
The Empire of the Sun had officially awoke
us
Japan took a chance but instead just provoked
us
A campaign on two fronts was about to unleash
The Machine gathered steam and production
increased
Factories were spitting new planes, weapons,
tanks
While Selective Service had increased the
ranks
And women kicked in elbow grease the new fashion
And people conserved for the soldiers through
Rations
Sacrifice was the way for all people to fight
War bonds bought, factories lit up all through
the night
Victory Gardens were planted and young kids
recycled
Taking rubber and metal from their old bicycles
And Civil Rights Movements held back on their
protest
Double “V” was the cry for all blacks
to invest
In victory abroad and at home it should follow
(but)
Separate armed forces still bitter to swallow
But still worse for those with far eastern
connections
Their rights non-existent their loyalty questioned
Interned in a camp isolated like cattle
Forced out of their homes from L.A. to Seattle
So two distinct theaters for this war to plan
One hopping islands the other on land
McArthur led troops bravely into the ocean
While “IKE” gathered forces, setting D
–day in motion
And this D-day- a crucial a high stakes invasion
A foothold was gained that would change the
equation
Finally a push back -a German retreat
The fight at the Bulge the last major defeat
Soviets pushed through from Poland to Berlin
As Hitler committed his final last sin
Took his own life refusing fate’s plan
A weak coward who couldn’t stand up like
a man
And in the Pacific we kept pushing nearer
Inevitability became clearer
But Japan didn’t give in sent troops to
their death
The Emperor told them Fight till your last
breath
Daily bombing of Tokyo still didn’t end
it
So we had this “A”-bomb and were willing
to Send it
Truman made the choice keep our troops from
danger
And dropped “Little Boy” which was a game
changer
And still Hirohito refused to agree
To throw in the towel though so clear to see
That this bomb that we had just dropped out
of the sky
Killed hundreds of thousands in the blink
of an eye
And one more bomb dropped Nagasaki’s fate
sealed
The Emperor finally agreed to a deal
VJ day was here the war was now done
The clouds finally lifted and there was the
sun
But what it revealed after five years of bloodshed
Was that 50 million, from this world were
now dead
And each country’s leader had blood on his
hands
Cause bombing civilians was part of their
plan
And what lessons learned from this War that
just wrecked us
The world needed strength not just words to
protect us
A peace keeping power- a U-ni-ted Nations
to stand up against human rights violations
And out of the smoke New World Order emerged
Two super powers who’s ideals would converge
The race had begun the future uncertain
Two Powers preparedon both sides of the Curtain.
