Oskar

I’m watching a movie about Oskar Schindler Who I assumed was just another profligate swindler A hedonistic man if ever there was one Great in business but involved with despicable scum Self serving, self righteous, and all so shiny Making deals with the Nazi and Stasi so slimy Both parties would party in plentiful prosperity Whilst Jews lives were extinguished in eternal enmity It seems Oskar Schindler was a complicated man His conscience saw him device a Machiavellian plan And thus Amon Goth was recruited unwittingly Oh how the irony fits so felicitously Goth was a monster in a Nazi uniform For millions of Jews all hope was forlorn Ferocious with a rifle fired from high above Killing contemptible Jews was his only true love Schindler’s right hand man was a clever little Jew Itzhak Stern the accountant held it all together like glue Money man, manipulator, prisoner, humanitarian Obviously a deadly threat to the almighty Aryan Together they devised a devious List Removing Jews from amongst Amon Goths midst 1000s were deemed necessary for Oskar’s labour Released with a bribe or the promise of a favour Escaping certain death at the concentration camp Because their papers were mercifuly marked with a stamp Unlike the 6,000,000 other lost Jewish souls Discarded like trash enmasse in unmarked holes These men, woman and children led purposeful lives Their progeny proceeding, propagating to thrive Greatness was not what Oskar Schindler had attempted He could not save ONE more, on that he lamented History must never be allowed to repeat There may be no other man that achieves such a feat Profligate, purger with a preservation plan In Oskar Schindler lies the duality of man
