The Legions Will Come Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

The Legions Will Come

Rating: 2.8


They will come

massed in ranks,
battalions and regiments,
young men and women enlisted
in a good cause
led by a bespoke
charismatic charlatan
preaching eloquently
about something or other
we can all believe in

they will come

for those unpatriotic citizens
who resist the clamorous crowds -
camps for re-education will spring up
like weeds in a vacant lot.
