Nightmares

each generation has its fools
but this one takes the cake
subservient like Orwell's mules
they're blind to what's at stake

contorting words to doublethink
defying Occam's rule
they've brought our nation to the brink
it all started at school

now we must speak as if in church
unholy order, this
and watch them, as they weave and lurch
prohibiting what is

the anger that they do evoke
their ardor -- makes me weep
and if they get their way, the woke
well -- what awaits the sheep?
