Did They Really Not See It Coming
It was when the shadows
Stepped out into the light
Monsters of dreams
Given a form of reality
The popularity of diseased minds
Behind friendly smiles
That deceived a country
Who wanted someone to blame
Promising a thousand year reign
Breathing poison into those willing to listen
Those that didn’t, started to disappear
The silent beginning of a final solution
A culture was to be wiped from history
Just because they were hated by some
Power corrupts ultimate power kills
Innocents persecuted under a banner
The whispers, the rumours
Never prepared the world
For the real horror revealed
A horror that is never forgotten

Amen, AP. More innocents has been killed under banners since the dawn of time. The cultures we have lost, the ancient secrets are mourned by many still today. My ancestors are both Jewish and Cherokee. . .
One thing that jumped out:
Those that [didn’t started] to disappear
The fledgling* ( sp ) beginning of a final solution
Did you mean hadn't started to disappear? Or, didn't start to disappear? Just thought I'd throw that out, as it tripped up the smooth read.

never forgotten but denied by the few who wish to see its return
the idea that a person can stand there and flat out say the holocaust is a lie, or vastly exaggerated - that beggars belief. of course, it goes further than that, beyond hitler... russians in the 19th century with their ethnic cleansing (circassian genocide), native americans were almost wiped off the face of the earth, pol pot & his communist gov't wiped 1.5-2 million cambodians from their own country, the bosnian-serb generals' genocidal killing of more than 8,000 muslim bosnian men and boys, north korea's own disasterous neglect of its people, the chechnya torture and murder (and encouraged murder by relatives) of gays within the past couple of years... it never ends. when good people stay silent, the ugliness rises - and rises fast. here's hoping enough good people stand up to be counted in america today since i see a swift uprising of hatred here, aimed against anyone non-caucasian (and poor), gays, religious intolerance, women's rights and environmental protections under daily attack
yeah. all of that. your poem took me there.
