Henceforth a decree
Of solidarity between those who
Aren’t on the fringes of politics
To unite against extremes on both sides

Calling to arms
For a common goal of unity
It’ll take you and me
Marxists won’t make three
Let’s agree conservatively
To pursue the defense of our union
Liberally
Without succumbing to the extremes
We’ve learned nothing from the Soviet collapse?
We’ve learned nothing from the Nazis or the KKK?
History starts by learning objectively
And destiny isn’t pre-determined

So sorry scholar
Go on and holler
Take to trial
The victim of a horse collar
Tackle and dare that individual
To think and you’ve created your own monster
Why is your worst hell someone who can think for themselves?

I’ll never understand.
