21st Century Holocaust
Smoke drifts softly from the northeast
Just as it had done from the south end stacks
And the sky turns a darker shade of grey
As checkered pattern shadows the ground from barbwire fence
Can we foresee a horrible mistake through closed eyes?
Can we reach out a saving grasp with wrists locked?
Like a creature in the night, murder crept upon humankind as a plague
Through raised fists, and evil rejoice, the truth has always been before us
Yet the power of denial and naivety has, and always will, resisted the will of freedom
Tyrannical faces and suits of either green or black, medals of either swastikas or American flags. The face of evil knows no aesthetic.
And the secrets continue to flow, from the tongues of the conspiring serpents themselves
Tightening our binding ropes to the point of blood
The desperate will surrender inalienable rights
The desperate times call for desperate measures
Stand up and fight
If you can’t use your fists, use your voice
If you have no guns, fire words
If you have no bombs, scream the truth
If you have no army, stand alone
