Malice is empowered

Now we know how fascism rose to power
The envy and the malice  seek   to harm
While claiming to relive our  glorious hours

The poor are scorned, the single mothers   cower
The Jews are blamed ,oh Magdalen, oh balm
Now we know how fascism rose to power

Even as wild roses  charm the bower
We humans do not wish for a world calm
Britain  had  such  cruel  Empire’s hours

The faces of opponents  mock and glower
In secrecy   we keep   our sulphur warm
So we feel that fascism will empower

We lit a fire that won’t die in a shower
The mountains burn, the valleys are alarmed
Britain  had its Empire  and its Tower

Paranoid,depressed,  and narrow eyed
We  recreate the worst ,  it’s suicide.
Is it certain fascism  holds the power?
The past is gone, the future might yet flower.
