Modern Fuhrer
From mere delusion vile regimes evolve
to fill a void and seed a hungry wave.
His pulpit rage lets common sense dissolve
as propaganda feeds them what they crave.
‘Tis sacrilegious seeking out the pawn
with fabricated anguish and reprise,
‘tis but a tactic hate is built upon
with promise of salvation as its guise.
Such promises are built upon deceit
that mocks the tide he claims to represent
but, demagogues will not obscure conceit
from moral hearts with ethical intent.
His merciless intentions will unveil
as all the world stands by to watch us fail.
