How the Big Lie Carries On

1

It started with a soft barrage of lies

“When 9/11 happened I was there

“My crowd was the largest honestly

“I shoot to kill and none will mind”

And we got used to lies that made no sense

2

Then there came lies that breathed demonic power

Power to injure persons of degree

To humiliate past victims of abuse

To deny things that might in time prove true

Like child rape done on Epstein’s skeevy turf

3

A lie a day became a dismal rule

The media mainly enabling

People taking it in stride

We won things back by vote — they said relax

4

And then there came the biggest lies of all

“I won the election —the results are wrong

“I did nothing to disrupt the Capitol”

A bald-face string of lies before and after January 6

From the mouth of someone twice impeached

Whose Biggest Lies keep flowing on and on

5

The forces of Justice so far silent

Except a lonely Winning President

And a handful of Congress folk

So truth and justice lay on life support

And he runs free when he should be in jail

He plots and plots — the media play on

His impunity is our sad lot

6

Those of an age have been there

Know the holocaust

And now the hosts of our pandemic dead

Dictatorship US style

7

Racism practiced by the Reich

Our far-reaching brands of racial hatred

Two nations brought down by

Two leaders ideally fit for

Crimes unspeakable

8

The situations differ certainly

Theirs permitted by resentment

Ours is permitted by our lassitude

9

We have not seen the worst of it

Theirs took a global war to stanch

Each day I watch the sane nation believing

The doom they tempt will never come to pass

It comes to pass each day voices are silent

And as I write the silence lasts and lasts
