A Merry, Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!
Let’s hope it’s a good one
without any fear. -John Lennon
The Brown Shirts are in the streets again:
the intention is terror
the plan is murder.
They will as quickly shoot a woman in the head*
as shoot a man.
They will as readily traumatize and orphan a child
as intimidate and abuse an elder:
separate children from their mothers
bash, break the bones and bloody the faces
of Constitutionally sanctioned protesters.
The Brown Shirts (SA
Sturmabteilung, the stormtroopers)
are in the streets again, armed and dangerous.
And they believe the streets belong to them.
With raised clenched fist of cultic loyalty
they do not consider themselves outside the law.
In the ideological tempest of their 4th Reich
they are convinced they are the law.
Those of us who do not learn, pundits say
are condemned to repeat.
The boots are on the ground.
The Brown Shirts are in the streets again.
The agents of ICE
believe the streets belong to them.
*In memory of Renee Nicole Good
and the shot seen and heard around the world.
