A Warning From the Past

onlyfatrabbit.tumblr.com -

The father land

Pleading for peace

Preparing for war

 

The Fuhrer a hypocrite

Tells the people what they want to hear

While preparing the opposite

The trains run on time

 

Technocratic and lethal

Death and destruction at peak

Paranoid, final solution to deal with imagine dragons

 

The most efficient society

 The rotting flesh still stinks

The death of its victims

The death of its faithful

Very patriotic citizens

 

Policies have been studied

Practices have been copied

This is a warning

That even the land of the free

Can become a slave society

 

Big brother in our pockets

Flickering screens

And you buy your own

They watch and listen

 

In our comfortable complacency

We trade freedoms for security

Building walls against our imagined enemies

Torture, drones, surveillance

As acceptable strategy

 

Our prisons are full

Most citizens serving in the world

We are watched

While drones bomb the innocent

What are we turning into?
