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.

When will we ever learn?? The same authoritarian garbage tinged with xenophobia and racist. It is always the same simplistic answers; the aggression; the fear; the anger; the wish to dominate and control; the wish to apply force; the scapegoating, superiority and arrogance.
We are faced with the rise of the right-wing with their racial purity and guns. Strutting with their violence, intolerance and aggression.
Fascism rises up and creates war. It has to be crushed back down.
Oh for an education system that creates empathy and compassion.
That would put an end to fascism. Much better than guns and bombs.
Fascism is a disease.
