The Nasty Side Of ‘Isms’

It seems it matters not at all
Which type of ‘-ism’ we're enthralled;
They all are twisted in some way,
“I win, you lose” – “you get to pay”.

A docu on TV tonight
Articulated early fight –
Cooperation twixt the two
The Nazis and Commies too.

The only difference twixt them all:
One ‘inter-’, other ‘national’.
But ‘socialism’ was the source
Where euthanasia found resource:

“For people ‘back two stages’ seem
Impossible to be redeemed –
A drag on others, cut them loose –
Dispatch with bullets, gas, and noose.

For we into the future surge,
The hope of wealth it is our urge; ”
The Fascists, Commies, Nazi folk –
Extreme perhaps, who go for broke.

The Japs attacked the Chinese world
To bring them forward with the sword;
“Develop economically
With force of arms if they'll not heed.”

Oh Lord, I'm sick to death of this –
How half of truth we often miss;
The schools pass on of story part,
As churches twist, and so of art.

Why are we so afraid of truth?
We twist it, hide it – quite uncouth;
Lord show us who we really are,
Then bring to here your Kingdom far.
