Not Again

The heavy marching of intolerance is,
growing louder once again.

The heavy sound of boots on pavement is,
drowning out opposition.

The rhetoric being ejected is,
nothing new.

We've been down this road before where,
politicians passed laws that,
dehumanized a portion of the population.

We've seen the outcome of these odd,
marble minded plans that,
are carried out by the truly weak.

Before we said,
"This could not happen here."
so we turned a blind eye allowing,
untold millions to be round up,
to be tortured,
to be killed.

Now we are saying,
"This could not happen here,"
so we are turning a blind eye allowing,
laws to be passed that will lead to,
round ups,
torture,
killings.
