Killing is our
Only Option
Janet Kuypers
9/3/19, the 1941 Holocaust date where
Karl Fritzsch at the Auschwitz concentration camp
experiments with the use of Zyklon B
in the gassing of Soviet POWs.
When killing is our only option,
and when those are our orders,
we need to find a humane way
to execute these deaths, if only
for the well-being of those
who have to do all this killing.
Killing can get tough, after a
while, so, how can we help.
Putting a gun to head after head
can get taxing for our poor
soldiers, maybe carbon monoxide
from a car could do it en masse.
But wait, we have to clean
clothes at these camps, to dis-
infect them of all the disease
these filthy prisoners carry —
this disinfectant makes toxic
fumes.
Hmmm.
Give me a minute.
Because I just may
have found a way
to make this war
so much easier
on our soldiers.
