Fascism Poem by Randy McClave

First, you fascinate the fools
Then they will follow you and all of your rules,
Then keep repeating the very same lies
Soon you are speaking the truth they will realize.
You then tell them that you are one of them
Then your opponents they will all quickly condemn,
Then for you they will riot and fight
Because, they are gullible and not that bright.
For you they will rage a war
For you they will hate the needy and the poor,
And for you they will support traitors and cheaters and rapists
For you they will become and will support racists.
You give them your every dollar that they need
Even if it means you or your family you can't feed,
For them you will fight and protest like hell
And for them you will proudly go to jail.
They go after the ones that are gullible and foolish and insane
And then they will control their very brain,
They will believe every lie that is written and told
Their very belief and soul they have sold.
Then they will muzzle the intelligent
Then they will tell their followers they are heaven sent,
And then they believe their leader is truthful with no sins
That's how fascism begins.
