Strongmen and Their Death Squads

Strongmen and their death squads….

In many countries, both exist.

The squads inflict terror while

The strongmen rule with an iron fist.


The people have to watch what they say,

Watch what they do, and live in fear.

Often they will end up in a morgue;

Sometimes they'll merely disappear.


Indirectly, Donald Trump

Appears to have his death squads, too--

Far-right extremists who

Are a rather deplorable crew.


All that Trump must do is find

Someone out there to criticize--

Opponents, prosecutors, judges,

Their families--with vicious lies,


And suddenly, they will have

Giant targets on their backs.

They live in constant fear for their lives

Merely because of Trump's attacks.


Many Republicans also fear

Opposing Trump and therefore feel

Coerced into supporting him.

The chances of being a target are real.


Trump uses innuendo

Or code to get his point across. 

Is he aware at all how much

He sounds just like a mafia boss?


Whether or not he likes it, his thugs

Are there to terrorize us. Alas!

Imagine the nightmare if for Trump

A win in November should come to pass!
