Das Bruder Sammlung

I. Bruder
Big bruder came home today
Not for forever, but for a few days
Just so he could be with me
He's all I have since Vater and Mutti died
And I've missed him a great deal
But the War has changed him
He's not the same as he used to be
He's not even human anymore
He's a monster
"It's about power,"
He tells me gleefully
"And besides"
An animalistic grin crosses his face
"Killing off Juden is fun"
I cannot even muster a reply to that
His grin remains
"You'll join us when you grow up,
Won't you?"
He asks expectantly
"Ja"
I'm too afraid to refuse
Afraid of what he might do to me
If I say no
"Sehr gut"
He presses a kiss to my forehead
Before he leaves the room
I stay in here
Trembling in fear
Sobbing quietly to myself
Mein gott, bruder
What have they done to you?
II. Schicksal
Big bruder won't be coming home
His entire unit was shot down
By American soldiers
I miss him terribly
And I can't let this go un-avenged
Can I?
So I'll take him up on his offer
And enlist myself in the Fuhrer's army
I won't be able to join the true fighting
But I will fight for the cause
To the best of my ability
I'll join the SS-Helferinnenkorps
And help to exterminate those mein Fuhrer has deemed unfit
Just as mein bruder did
I will follow in his footsteps
Even if it means my death
I do not fear death, though
I welcome it
For Heaven awaits me in the next life
As do Vater and Mutti
And, more importantly, so does mein bruder
III. Das Ende
Gott, I hate this...
It's been four months now
Since I joined the SS-Helferinnenkorps
And while I have made a dent in the number of Juden polluting the country
I am no closer to reuniting with mein bruder
But there is still hope
I've heard that the Allied Forces
Are beginning to turn the tides of the war
That suicide may be an option sometime soon
Without making me out to be a coward
I look forward to it
I crave it
An explosion sounds at the far wall of the camp
And it's finally time
I'll be with mein familie soon
