Cosplay Nazis ride in a train
Something’s not quite right in their brains
With covered faces they’re all the same
Cosplay Nazis ride in a train.
Hitler youth march down the street
They love the sound of goose stepping feet
In their uniforms they look so neat
Hitler youth march down the street.
Fascists like to form their groups
Makes them feel like SS troops
Up straight boy you march with a stoop
Fascists like to form their groups.
They really hope their numbers grow
And want to see a return to Jim Crow
It’s the seed of hate they wish to sow
But love’s much stronger than they’ll ever know.
Those from the Far Right
Aren’t all that bright
They really can’t wait
To peddle their hate
And make people feel uptight.
They stomp around without a care
Furiously waving their flags in the air
Freely attacking migrants on sight
Wrongly believing that might is right
As they demonstrate a Hitleresque flair.
While the poor continue to hurt
Totally fooled by those in Brownshirts
Wage slaves continue breaking their backs
Corporations continue to not pay tax
Oh look there’s another billionaire pervert.
So don’t be fooled by the loudest voices
And be wise when making political choices
They came for the Gypsies, the commos, the Jews
And one day they might even come for you
And the fascists will all rejoice.
Original sin turns into original purity
As the first undoing is underdone
And returning becomes advancing
Into a lost but remembered world
Of innocence before the rape and kidnap
And we stare no longer into the faces of fascists
But into the sunlit athletic eyes of Spring
The long slumber
So, here we are a day sadder, if now wiser
Norway is in focus, since the Epstein saga
showing us how corrupt Norway had become
run by a clique of people behaving like Fascists
In Italy, they did during their time
Giving each other top jobs like ambassadorship
and the economic top job, while keeping old peoples
pension low, well, we can't spoil the old folk
Will anyone face jail time? Possibly not in Norway
It can be a forgiving mood.
My criticism of the sitting regime, for that is
what it is; people representing themselves and
a population asleep
The exclusively logical conclusion
of monotheistic-nationalistic strategizing,
rooted in anthropocentric caste-preservation,
is Winner or Loser fascism
AND
The inclusively ecological commencement
of polytheistic-international integrity,
flowering as Gaia Hypothesis caste-abolition,
is Winner and Winner panentheism.
Just as no one could sanely become
a fascistic panentheist,
we already have far too insanely many
monotheistic fascists.
People who’ve been indoctrinated by public education
Think the fascists/Nazis were “far right”,
When it’s clear the national socialist platform
Was just that; nationalist and socialist.
These indoctrinated fools
Have an extremely narrow idea of the spectrum
That ranges from total government on the Left
To zero government on the Right.
Saying the left of center fascists are right wing
Is like only seeing red to yellow on the color spectrum
Somehow ignorant, willfully or not,
Of all that lies to the right of green.

Their ships dot the oceans all over the world
armed with missiles and bombs for a fight
The two are opposed on every idea
each one thinks that their way is the right
But both are two sides of the same dirty coin
where money and power control
One uses carrot and one uses fear
different ways to achieve the same goal
The fascists all do it with physical force
as they threaten with violence and fear
A nation of robots to run into fires
they are pawns sent by kings, every year
The capitalists use a most different approach
as their power exists on the Hill
Where donors make laws via people we pay
and the taxpayers foot every bill
Both Parties are playing the same donor game
so the Congress is owned heart and soul
By the wealthy who sell all the products we buy
to have more is their permanent goal
The facade which America always projects
is unraveling before our eyes
The oil and the sugar and gun industries
the loopholes, legalese and the lies
The people are hungry for more than just food
they want fairness and truth in their lives
As a country so rich, has them stand on bread lines
to ensure that their family survives
For men who tire of war and bleed
Is there any hope from God or love?
Is living in a world of fallen man
A hopeless state forever without peace?
Who can live on love and virtue alone?
In a world of irrational thought is peace a folly
In a world of common ordinary men?
Artistically sterile and filthy
Fallen and depraved deranged
Fallen humanity without reason
Living by blind beliefs
A world removed from God
Outside of Creations peace
Turning heaven’s peace into war
A spiritual famine and living death
Or tied into knots of nothing at all
Ragamuffins and fascists, wicked destroyers
But artistic genius will bring us back
Back to the peace of creation’s plan
Pulled through the fire and smoke of HELL
And back into the planned Peace of Heaven
This is the secret of genius and divine creation
The hidden secret of the peace of poetry and art
In the ever-present unchanging sacred world of LOVE
Inspired by Bruce Dickinson song Darkside of Aquarius
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the wings of the first hellrider rode venom —
so copious it stained sky and moonlight,
making mothers bolt their doors
against the eastern warmonger's hot gust.
From molten rock and flaming seas the second rode,
hawking evil wares; his tongue a forge of lies,
spinning promises, seeding secret agents
to rule and mislead in every land.
The third came as a preacher of war ~
turning brothers on brothers, sisters on sisters,
tilling the soil with blood to make it ready
for the fourth — who carved theology into terror.
I tried to run — my feet sunk in wet clay.
Then a lone silver surfer appeared:
from starlit sky or silver sea I could not tell;
he drew me from the mire, breathed strength into my arms.
I vowed to reinvent the wheel:
let fascists taste their own venom, feed their children poisons they brewed,
slay kin with the swords they bloodied.
Death will kiss them in their sleep.
I know lots of liberals who can’t seem to grasp
That they are in fact the fascists
Because they know they are of the Left
And fascists are of course of the Right.
These liberals I know are all smart,
Smarter than average, smarter than me,
But they are wrong about what fascism is
As they are wrong about many things.
But just as dumb people know they are dumb
The smart know they are smart
And thus think they have formed correct views
When in fact, like everyone, they have just been programmed.
(8/20/25)
It’s the heyday of the preachers of doom
nuclear paranoia, world goes boom
Open Season to generalize with closed eyes
all righties -- fascists
lefties -- commie drug addicts
It’s a high point for hate
Blacks hate whites
Whites return the favor
Sophisticates choose
to hate Jews of every flavor
As for a President who’s made the borders secure again
and dealt a decisive blow to the loonies in Iran
Half the country views him
as a deranged, soon-to-be-jailed con
Nature Fascists
Those who believe in the sanctity of nature, the survival of
the fittest, and so on, tend to be on the political spectrum
right-wing living off inherited money and believing
it is right for an eagle to kill a rabbit
and they are
right, and of people on horseback pursuing a fox until it
can do no more running and is killed by man`s best friend,
the dog that lacks empathy unless it is a learned behavior
It is a right to tame
nature, but not eradicate it because we
do we well not to harm our future, but farming is needed
despite what they learned, think cattle have to graze to give
milk and meat. The mule has gone, and the tractor has taken
its place, but without sheep and cows grazing in peace and
not knowing its purpose, the countryside would be a place of
fear and wildflowers enjoyed by botanists and goats.
It is the fascist agenda that is scaring the right to
exterminate
what nature lovers think is not worthy of their ideal.
Undeniably these are weird times for US all
Maybe they have been for a very long time
Where the hard working and law abiding
Are used and abused, ridiculed and punished
But now it’s beyond weird
Where those who come illegally
Are given a red carpet
Flown around, deposited at five star hotels
Given thousands a month in handouts
And slaps on the wrist
When they steal and assault anyway
In thanks for our kindness.
And when we, bearing the costs, complain
Then we are the bigots, the racists
Fascists, and, well frankly, garbage.
While those who come seeking refuge
Are recognized as the princes and princesses
They really are
In this fairy tale fantasy of El Norte.
Viva la revolucion for it is here and now
Forget your protests
Dance and celebrate while you can
For in the morning there will be work to do
And streets to clean, of all these rats
And their rotting pumpkin carriage.

History is in your hands—President Biden
We fight to defend our freedom and democracy against the banana Republicans who have converted Lincoln's Party into a dangerous cult of personality—Jamie Raskin
Trump has a rap sheet—Jasmine Crockett
Freedom Minichu
in a democracy
it’s said politics is the art of compromise
papacy
when truth contorts
when God fearing fascists arise
blood sports!
donkeys
freedoms demise
pleas!
in a democracy
when God fearing fascists arise
pleas!
I see a world steeped in tears of sorrow,
there is so much bigotry, greed, and hate,
that I fear what fate awaits tomorrow.
As politicians scam you to donate,
corruption flows like an open floodgate.
Depriving women of having a choice;
fascists and evangelists share one voice.
The uneducated support a fool,
and both political parties rejoice;
the poorly informed are a useful tool.
