There is a darkness
In the world
That has come back
From a dark period
In world history.
When fascism
Took hold in Germany
Italy, Spain and elsewhere,
A darkness of the soul
Fascism has come back
With the trump MAGA movement.
And similar rise
Of the right wing
In Europe and other places.
The classic elements
An appeal to power
To tradition
To a strong man.
Who will come in
And save the country
Taking the country back.
For the real Americans
Battling the vermin
foreign invaders
Infesting the county.
The darkness is spreading
A dark, dangerous, devious mood
Spreading across the land
Darkness, despair, fear
Hatred of the other.
dark muttering
of civil war 2.0
of internment camps
for immigrants
and other undesirables
Will the power of the light
Overcome the power of the dark.
Will democracy overcome
This dark moment.
