A slippery slope

The unthinkable is creeping
Crawling
And sliding toward us through the fog
An acrid tide
A rogue wave
A monster
Brute
Fiend
Beast
Ogre
The Devil himself
Intent on mayhem
And destruction
Tearing down
Wrecking
And dismantling
All that is kind
Fair
And decent
Replacing liberty and justice for all
With iron-fisted
Acrimony
Scapegoating
And the thundering shudder of storm troopers
Marching
Marching
Marching
Flags waving
Assault weapons in hand
The thundering shouts of angry mobs
Saluting the grand new leader
Sieg Heil!
Sieg Heil!
Sieg Heil!
