The Boys Who Fought the Nazis: Found Poems

The Boys Who Fought the Nazis
Found Poem
By: Dante Belandres

Bombs blowing
Children crying
Fear of dying
July 1914
World War II
Jews Killed
Millions were thrilled
Broken glass
Unemployment
High
More like let’s
All die
Suicide
No capture
Warned
53 million lives
Were taken
Beaten by the
Time WWII was done


Germans Vs. Nazis
Found Poem
By: Albert Aguilar

Dark and terrifying
Hamburg Germany
British bombers looking to destroy
Dark and terrifying
Fear of bombs
Heart pounded
Swallowed vomit
Dark and terrifying
Hitler prejudice against
Jewish
Outlandish beliefs
Dark and terrifying
Hitler destroying Germany
Nazi Germany
Change the course of life
Shadows
Dark and terrifying


The Nazis
Found Poem
By: Casey Stophel

Fear of bombs
Nazi’s – - - Hitler
Power after difficulty
Jewish killed
Speech after speech
Invading
Can’t forget
The games end
Caught
Sentenced to death
Gestapo tortured
Now I must die even though I’ve committed no crime
Final days
After it all
50 million dead
Hitler gone


The Boys Who Fought the Nazis
Found Poem
By: Maiya Johnson

Dark
Terrifying
Destroyed homes

Fear
pounded into the heart
Of Germans as well as the people

Children
Trained to be soldiers

Resisters were
Captured, beaten, killed
Or tortured

Three friends
Criticizing
The war

Helmuth, Karl, Rudi
The boys who fought
The Nazis


I Would Do It Again
Found Poem
By: Tamera Lepore

Now I must die
I have committed no crime
I would do it again
I am not a hero
I would do it again

They were to blame
They fanned the flame
They would be shut down
I would do it again

The games ended
Dark and terrifying
With targets to destroy
I would do it again

Yes, I would do it again


 A Nazi Rally
Found Poem
By: Rudy Paisley

Bombs a short wave
Do you know you’re being lied to
Racially pure
A Nazi rally
German Jews singled out
People, gypsies, gays
Click-clack of boots
A Nazi rally
Anti-Jewish people
Praise Hitler
A Nazi rally
Hitler embraced
A Nazi rally
