Poisonous Ideologies

Stalin cared nothing for his people 
Mao Zedong was likewise 
Cruel and brutal tyrants 
Who slaughtered millions of their own people. 

And now let those who espouse the ideals 
Of communism, marxism, socialism and globalism
Learn the truth from the blood soaked landscape 
Of the twentieth century 
And listen to the haunting cries 
Of countless millions who have died...
