Fascism doesn't arrive
Goose-stepping in jackboots
Blaring trumpets
It insinuates itself
Slowly, stealthily, silently
It is a state of mind
I start by
Being neutral
And end by
Being neutered:
No thoughts
No opinions
No ideas
Except those of
Big Brother
Follow the leader is
What I excel at:
I follow him
Right into my own mind
