History Repeats
History repeats.
Lessons are never learned.
Fascists arrogantly strut.
Our cities burn.
The racist chants
Echo down the streets.
Frightened people keep quiet,
Civilisation retreats.
Politicians stir,
Seeking power.
Behind locked doors
Poor people cower.
The tribal game
Is played out again.
Every single person
Feels the pain.
