as the abhorrent salute
cuts through the air
a fragile delusion
bursts into shards
I keep the one in my eye
for I can see much clearer now
shaken by disgust
love turns into scorn
devoted hearts
betrayed and broken
it's hard to bear
the downfall of an icon
(but) initial indignation drowns
in the flood of media overload
unprincipled
big stages lure
and fame is tempting
so craven keep
supporting ruthlessly
spread this shit at your place
and goose-step through it but
never try to infect us
with your narrow-minded
racial hatred
what is your pride based upon?
arson? genocide? slavery? holocaust?
never deny your befouled inheritance
beware the warning signs
deceivers waiting to set fire
to our society
we won't back down,
or rest until the war is won
against this ulceration
we'll cut it out
by means of truth and reason
