Worried for lobsters suffering in the kitchen
While gassing people in the showers
Mussolini made the trains run on time
Right into death camps
Rousing the mad mob with raging speeches
With a crisply starched salute to the adulators
Speeches to the hypnotized hoards
Rabid supremacists, fascistas, über alles assholes
Mothers fathers and children
Sieg heiling faux nationalism
Railing against the Other
Mad spittle spouting hate assaults the microphone
The new gospel for the Christian Death Cult
Reveling at the empty fantasy, the phantom promises
Of the new Sieg Heli Heaven
Blond, blue-eyed Jesus thrusts aloft the holy assault rifle
The new Fascists salute in the shadow of Nuremberg
Cheer the demise of the Feared Other at the rallies
In Green Bay in Tulsa in Jacksonville
Where the puffed suit makes sweaty hairspray speeches
Arousing limbic lizard chemistry in exchange for control
Of the hoard’s psycho psyches
Of their lives exchanged for unfulfilled promises
Angry words at the night
Words that drive the eagle from her nest,
The slain dragon resurrected
Always at the ready when power needs fire
White-hot words broadcast to the heavens
For spectacle and ratings that turn them
Against their better angels
Who cower afraid of their wings
…Hitler Was a Vegetarian
Who went to Catholic school
And cooked humans in the ovens
An altar boy bringing water and wine
To the priest to be turned into blood
He was an artist, a painter in blood
Good with children they say (proper Aryan children, of course)
Very neat and well-groomed
His mustache a balance of order and chaos
A cartoon drop shadow under his nose
Now morphed into the lacquered manic mane
Of the Alpha male chimp in face paint
Aping the Master’s mass psychosis
That moves millions to surrender
Their consciences at the door
In exchange for the seduction of superiority
Offering them top dog position in the
Social hierarchy of the Achtung overlords
Implanting the hallucination of triumph
Over the Other that only He can promise
To bring them back to a mythical time that never existed
This is the virus Hitler planted now harvested
The chaff and the wheat forever mixed
The thresher dulled
…Hitler Was a Vegetarian
He liked to watch
The flowers drop their petals into
His garden of human ashes strewn over
Old black and white photos
Washed in the acid bath
Of living skeletons and piled corpses
On the history channel
Between commercials for the New Improved Authoritarianism
From Mar-A-Lago where ravenous scavengers
Have drinks with real commie hating men
White Christian soldiers marching onward
Superior in their proud skins
Unaware of the tattooed numbers
On their flaccid forearms
Written in the ink of righteousness
It was them they killed the Jews
In retribution of Jesus’ death
Documented by the Word of God
Amen, so our sacred mission
The space race for the free world
Was won by Werner Von Brownshirt
Who burned books and bodies
And those same dead dried flowers
that fuel our quest for
Purity and honor
For this nation under God
The word of God
Comes down from the tin speakers
Whipping up the crowd of thorns
Until the golden calf is sacrificed again
On a sad hill nailed to the Roman tree of life
As we goose step
Towards our destiny
Though it is mere men who writ the word so
We would believe we were marching
Into heaven,
Sieg heil hallelujah
