Body Snatchers, By Brian37(Now Jackie Leigh) (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter)
The sanctuaries
That often come to mind
Schools, Hospitals, houses of worship
Are being violated by the most evil kind
You don’t want them in your drink
And their veins are very cold
Crushing the due process
Of the young and old
In 1921
The madman had begun
Destroying checks on power
The innocent went on the run
Guns of the government
Used to oppress their own
Losing their moral compass
Destruction is now home
He gives someone for you to hate
Vilification on his slate
You blindly take the bait
But soon you’ll meet your fate
He’ll snatch your body too
That’s what dictators do
He never cared about you
Or anything that is true
Brown are the leaves
Of democracy
Shirts are the mirror
We’ve seen in history
We’re in a time machine
Returning to the obscene
Lack of humanity
Lack of empathy
It will certainly lead
To barbaric atrocities
If warnings we don’t heed
Fascism will succeed
Let the bunker be
The coward’s way out
From every single rooftop
Everyone must loudly shout
We don’t want that here
We know the road that’s tread
The gravestones of the innocent
The masses will be dead
In a prison all will live
Even those who helped him rise
Not even you will be free
Your body snatched alive.
