Beer Hall Putsch, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37)

Although I now there is no afterlife
I wish people could live forever
So the lessons would stay in their head

Hitler wanted to replicate Mussolini
Become despot of his own Bavarian country
He wanted to attack the Weimar Republic

At Burgerbraukeller was were the plan was born
2,000 Nazis were sworn, to head to the Reischtag
And sack and bag and kill , vile poison pill

And today on Capital Hill the MAGAs sell the swill
The same purging of ilk, the same xenophobic chill
Praises Putin the product of Soviet Communism

Praises Kim Jong Un, thinks it would be fun
If he could be the strongman one
He stood on the mall that January day

Stoking hate and lies, two officers needlessly died
About the fair election he lied
All from arrogant pride

“They’re rapists, vermin, invasion”
“Muslim ban for our entire nation”
Pandering to White Christian Nationalism

We’ve seen this script before
Scapegoat more and more
Make oneself the Messiah

When in reality you are a pariah
A selfish narcissist in denial
Screaming all the while

That you are the victim
When all you are is a bully
With the intellect of a gnat

And the vocabulary of a cockroach.
