Louse on the Scalp of God

Most infamous irony
I've ever known, that death camp
Gate's slogan, Arbeit Macht Frei.
Haven't thought of it for years,
But news reports of some fools
Stripping naked, slaughtering 
A sheep, then chaining themselves

Together under that gate
Reminded me. As grisly
As it is, it's got nothing
On the irony of God
That I've learned since I first heard
Of genocide's droll horrors.
All life's lived under that sign.
