That Old Crooked Cross

How do you look in a brown shirt, Hanna? That's what your friends
All are wearing these days. Have you perfected your goose step
And straight arm, burnt any books, learned to bark out, "Sieg heil?"
Your time's running out. All the neighbors are watching, and listening,
Hanna. The law still proclaims that you can speak freely, but you'd
Better watch what you say.

"Your time's running out" - how I wish! They're always around, and every once in a while, there's a resurgence in attracting more people into their thinking and growing their numbers for power. The more people are dissatisfied, angry, and feeling deceived by the politics running their time, the more likely they'll turn to fascists... for some reason. It's a recurring reality we've been seeing through history... it keeps happening. So, I don't know if their time is really running out... but I certainly wish it was. Have me in thoughts with this one...
