It Can't Happen Here

The pundits and talking heads
The chaterati classes
 
All assure us
That it can’t happen here
Fascism will never happen here
 
Our democratic system
Superior to all others
Check and balances
Power of the media
 
Will prevent fascism
From taking root
In the American soil
 
They laugh
And talk amongst themselves
And laugh some more
Convincing themselves
 
Meantime the darkness
Continues to descend
 
As our President becomes more erratic
And frankly shows signs of insanity
The fascists supporting him
Gather strength
 
And one day
They strike back
With furry
 
When the powers that be
Try to remove the President
 
He mobilizes his army
His army of deplorables
And they mobilize
 
And his fascist supporters
In the government
Demand law and order
And restoration of the Leader of the people
As they have started calling the President
 
He comes back into power
And demands
Unspecified emergency powers
 
And so, the cycle ends
And fascism wrapped inside a Christian flag
 
Comes to America
Full vengeance
As they take charge
 
And the chaterati classes
Are all arrested
The first to be rounded up
 
America has fallen
The media stars
All comply
 
The leader is great
America is great
And all who oppose him
 
Must be terror sympathizers
Or Tersymps for short
And deserve to be rounded up
 
Public protests are forbidden
Muslims must register
Atheists must be fired
 
Alt media is shut down
The internet is censored
 
And I weep
As I see the once great American nation
Descend into a fascist nightmare
 
And I wait for the midnight knock on the door
Knowing that I am on the list.
 
Knock Knock knock
Open up, it is homeland security……
