New Reign of Terror

The government is no longer farcical
Most intelligent ones have ceased laughing
Mein Kampf is in the rulebook now
Our new dictators have it down pat
Censor anything they do not believe or advocate
Jail or kill those who protest
Control the media
Target a specific group
Be ruthless in pursuit
Intimidating and bullying; forcing their will on the rest of us
There will soon be goose-stepping in our streets
