The world is changing in a profound way,
by the philosophy of fear and lies.
You can't trust a word politicians say;
they connive and editorialize.
And legislate laws that legitimize
corruption and greed for personal gain.
The tactics they employ to terrorize
are indispensable to hate's campaign.
Dictators strip democracy away
slowly, so folks don't even realize.
Tyrants interject God into the fray,
persecuting any who criticize.
The ignorant get taught to recognize
the poor and weak as the root of their pain.
Ways to demonize and rationalize
are indispensable to hate's campaign.
Potentates kill people who are born gay;
their fate is just something to televise.
Soulless, pretending to believe, they pray;
their belief is easy to synthesize.
Bigotry is quick to popularize
despite being cruel and inhumane.
The detention camps that militarize;
are indispensable to hate's campaign.
Fascism is set to materialize
and show its ugly face yet once again.
And propagandists that destabilize
are indispensable to hate's campaign.
