It Can't Happen Here


Like Mussolini pumping up a crowd,
Trump's rally conjures Nuremberg of yore.
His  planted BrownShirts got 'em chanting loud
as if they thirst for blood, and for race-war.
No vision of a better USA
no sense all wasn't perfect in our past...
He sells nostalgia for a Golden Age;
historians just shake their heads, aghast.
No innovations from this pompous fool
the hate he preaches wore thin, long ago.
But old Roy Cohn's apprentice is the tool
who'd never win except by a low blow.
The Arsenal of Liberty's been breached, 
and Congress is too feckless to impeach.
