"Adolf Hitler (ne Shekelgrabber)
Tightened his veins
Around the throat of an old woman, her daughters
And a thousand sickly children
In whom all he could see were dying soldiers
In Stalingrad those children ate
The leather of the jackboot
Their eyes now steeled against the world
Their ears now shut against the world."
2)
"Benito Mussolini
squeezes his offending nostrils
absolutely shut
with leather-gloved efficient fingers,
stifling a ticklish undignified threat of a sneeze,
and keeps his pig-at-the-abattoir eye
securely fixed
on the fawning Party faithful come to see him off at Stresa."
