Mr Jaworski's Warning

[Achebe]

He sucked the white tube inward
pulling poison into his lungs
until the tip glowed fiercely.
He drank warm lemon tea,
lean body coiling and uncoiling
on an abdominal spring.

"You see, quite by chance,
we captured a Gestapo Officer
who was hunting for us.
He was confident -
arrogant.
He thought none among us
would resist.

We tore him apart with our bare hands.
It was over in minutes. Some bit his neck.
Some dug his eyes from their sockets.
The women went for his manhood.
We were covered with blood and gore.
I will never forget the surprise on his face
as he died in lumps and pieces."

A long pause, as he took another
slow pull on the hot tobacco.

I tell you, be a good boy
and pray to gentle Jesus,
but when they come for you,
be a wolf.

Hi Sparky - a number of cliches in S3: bare hands, blood and gore, and the "manhood" euphemism dulls the blow here.
Also, there's no real punch in the end. Everything after you've said "captured" lacks the element of surprise because you've said "captured" already.
Incidentally did regular Poles murder Nazis? Two million Poles died in concentration camps but that must've included political and military victims unlike the Jews...?
The opening is vivid.
