I know this isn't a poetry thread, but this applies here.
Nuremberg Rally, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)
Scapegoat
And vilify
Attack dissent
And truth deny
Sell them fear
Of the other
Offer yourself up
As the only hero
Repeat the lie
Every day
Get the mobs
To chant what you say
Those who died
On the beaches of Normandy
Would be horrified
If alive today
"They are rapists"
"Lock her up"
"Send her back"
We're under attack
And horrified too
Would be those Jews
Whom survied Warsaw Poland
And the "Final Solution"
I'm fucking sick
Of the bullshit argument
"That cant happen here"
When this is how it starts
Attack all rivals
Vilify all others
Offer yourself up
As the only cure
No, America
This cannot stand
For good people now
To remain silent
We must resist
And remain defiant
And defeat
The politics of fear.r.
