RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Sheep
A candidate in Germany steps down
After expressing sympathy for the SS –
The elite Nazi enforcement unit
An American candidate for president
Takes down a campaign video
Expressing admiration for The Reich
As if he didn’t understand the reference
The Proud Boys are the SS without
The power of the state
The European right is marching goosestep
With Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping
Accepting laundered money and propaganda
The NRA is a front for Russian money
One World News is a front for Russia
The propaganda war has begun and our side –
The side of freedom and democracy – for
there can be no freedom without democracy –
Has fallen asleep
Those who follow their fearless leader
Like sheep who have lost their way
Will awaken tomorrow in a nightmare
They too will be left behind
They will be discarded with the rest of us
For they will have lost their purpose
They placed the strongman in power
And now they are of no more use
We are vermin and they are sheep
