Emotions, alternative facts
Thrown down like feeding pellets
Draw hungry hate to the feet
Of folklore preachers and storybook zealots
While human rights are colour coded
Dressed up as finders keepers
Reserved for the fortunate births
The cloistered whitewash of true believers
It’s true
This has to be the beginning
Of fascism’s final throes
They’re rising up to the surface
Their ugly covetous grins exposed
Let our unity sing their outro
Validation, the new opiate
Doled out over the counter
The escapism, the distraction
The antidote to responsibility
They think they can lead
Via Munchausen by proxy
On a global scale
While promising to cure our ails
But we know snake oil when we see it
This has to be the beginning
Of fascism’s final throes
They’re rising up to the surface
Their ugly covetous grins exposed
Let our unity sing their outro
