Rallies
of hate

All hail the
liar in attack mode
spinning lies
for his blind
rabid base.

Haunted
by echoes
of a fascist past
out of a dictator’s sad playbook

#PoetryIsNotDead

Silence is the saddest sound
as fascists -- espousing a fake democracy and safety concern -- round up and deport those they deem
undesirable
threaten media and lawyers
claim corruption
while raiding government funds
seek division and fear
Silence is the saddest sound...
#poetry #poets #booksky

They'll scare you
intimidate you
choke you out
with fear
until dissent dies
in your mind
a death rattle
in your imagination
memories
extinguished
like kindness
in a death camp
in the Everglades
our human connections
too easily severed
lost in the swamp
of our ugly past
