Interesting Times

These are interesting times:
hordes of Hitler Youth
are marching out
from our institutes of higher learning,
those who believe that 'all lives matter'
are labeled racists.

We saw none of this coming,
and is that our kid in that zombie mob?

Dad has been busy at the golf course,
mom coaching Little Legue soccer.

We thought it was a good life
the dream
at the heart of the American Dream
not noticing the corrosive rot
being sold as truth,

and now,
and now,
we are all very sick,

even the dog has been brain-washed,
it is behaving like a rabid Nazi,
not a big leap for an Alsatian guard dog.
