AMERICAN REICH
The flags of the American Reich
Fly all across America.
One side is the Stars & Stripes,
The other,
The Confederate crossbones.
Armored personnel carriers
Patrol the streets of blue cities
And masked men,
With tattoos on their arms
And guns in their hands,
Stop citizens and ask
To see their papers
Before disappearing them
Into American gulags.
Here they came first
For the brown-skinned ones.
Then the scientists,
Doctors,
Teachers,
Any who knew too much,
Any who thought too much,
Any who wrote too much.
Few listened
As the spurned prophets,
Crying in the wilderness,
Howled out their horror
Of those with
Dust in their souls.
Now we drown in our own tears.
