It Can't Happen Here By Jake Cosmos Aller Index It Can't Happen Here Masters of the Universe Fires Burning Bright Hurricanes from Hell Idiots in High Places God Does Not Talk to Idiots It Can't Happen Here The pundits and talking heads The chaterati classes All assure us That it can't happen here Fascism will never happen here Our democratic system Superior to all others Check and balances Power of the media Will prevent fascism From taking root In the American soil They laugh And talk amongst themselves And laugh some more Convincing themselves Meantime the darkness Continues to descend As our President becomes more erratic And frankly shows signs of insanity The fascists supporting him Gather strength And one day They strike back With furry When the powers that be Try to remove the President He mobilizes his army His army of deplorables And they mobilize And his fascist supporters In the government Demand law and order And restoration of the Leader of the people As they have started calling the President He comes back into power And demands Unspecified emergency powers And so, the cycle ends And fascism wrapped inside a Christian flag Comes to America Full vengeance As they take charge And the chaterati classes Are all arrested The first to be rounded up America has fallen The media stars All comply The leader is great America is great And all who oppose him Must be terror sympathizers Or Tersymps for short And deserve to be rounded up Public protests are forbidden Muslims must register Atheists must be fired Alt media is shut down The internet is censored And I weep As I see the once great American nation Descend into a fascist nightmare And I wait for the midnight knock on the door Knowing that I am on the list. Knock Knock knock Open it is homeland security...... Masters of the Universe The earth has been invaded By hideous blood sucking vampires Disgusting vile alien creatures Devoid of all compassion Lacking any human empathy These so-called Masters of the universe These psychopathic monsters Are everywhere They even took over the White house And to these vile creatures Everyone is nothing but a commodity These alien monsters Worship the god of the market While proclaiming that they serve Jesus Jesus would turn over in his grave To see these people in action The airlines in Florida Facing the worst hurricane in world history Decided that the expeditated thing to do The MBA approved thing to do The profit maximizing, screw the public thing to do Was to raise prices 600 percent Without prior notice charging 3,000 dollars Instead of doing the right thing The compassion thing The human thing of offering free flights to all These executives, these so-called Masters of the Universe thus, demonstrated that they are no longer human But greed driven monsters As are all the other soulless automatons Who have taken over the world Perhaps some day Jesus will come back And smite these motherfuckers Send them to the hell they so richly deserve We can only pray For our deliverance from such evil From the soulless evil masters of the universe Who have taken over the planet Fires Burning Bright I look out my window in Medford Oregon at the unnaturally dark smoke-filled skies Seems almost like the end of the world Out here in the smoke-filled skies Of the west And realize that that the entire west coast Is burning up Quote the Donald,. "Give me clean, beautiful and healthy air - not the same old climate change (global warming) bullshit! I am tired of hearing this nonsense." I consult the Donald for further wisdom and advice and find that this is what he had to say . "Well, I think the climate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax. A lot of people are making a lot of money. I know much about climate change. I'd be--received environmental awards. And I often joke that this is done for the benefit of China. Obviously, I joke. But this is done for the benefit of China, because China does not do anything to help climate change. They burn everything you could burn; they couldn't care less. They have very--you know, their standards are nothing. But they--in the meantime, they can undercut us on price. So, it's very hard on our business." Ah it all makes sense Climate change is a Chinese hoax So, they can destroy the US economy Thanks to our dear great leader's wisdom I am relieved And realize that it will all be alright If I just follow the wisdom Of our dear leader Hurricanes from Hell As I watch the endless coverage of the storms from hell Harvey, Irma, Jose and so many others It seems almost end of the world like As I sit on the smoky west coast With fires burning everywhere Thinking of the massive storms from hell Bearing down on the East Coast And the burning of the West Coast As the storms head to Margo Largo Winter home of our dear leader Threatening destruction The thought comes to mind Perhaps there really is a God And he is angry at us For destroying his world And I realize that God Has been sending us a message The end of the world is coming And I despair Thinking that we have an idiot in charge Of the United States Government As we face the storms of the century And the ever-growing threats of global terrorism Nuclear armed North Korea And global chaos What does our dear leader say to comfort us In our hour of need Nothing but political nonsense How great he is doing And how on top of things he is As the storms batter the country And the fires consume the west I realize that the earth Does not give a whit About what I think The world spins and spins around the sun The climate continues to deteriorate And mankind might be facing its darkest hours But we have the Donald And he will lead us through To the other side And so, I pray to the Donald For deliverance from the storms the fires burning everywhere the threat of nuclear war the end of the world Idiots in High Places Many years ago I was amazed to find So many idiots in high places All over the world Senators, congressmen Office directors Presidents Corporation CEO's All were idiots Completely stupid People who should have known A thing or so because they should have seen a thing or so and yet these idiots in high places would reveal their total ignorance every time they opened their mouth or tweet or email their profoundly wrong thoughts and it never ceased to amaze me that few ever challenged these idiots few ever said but you are wrong or you don't have a clue and these idiots caused so much damage to those around them to the country and the world and now we have the idiot in chief in charge of the richest most powerful country the world has ever known and I wonder how in a country of 350 million people we ended up with such an idiot in charge But the idiots in high places phenomenon Exists everywhere Corporations made stupid decisions Countries make incredibly bad decisions All traced back to idiots in high places And these idiots in high places Can't hide their ignorance and pure stupidity They can't pretend anymore In a world of 24/7 constant news The idiots every pronouncement Fills the airways 24/7 And the only people who know better Are too afraid to say what they know That the idiot in high place Is an idiot and is destroying the world and so we doomed to die due to the idiot in high places God Does Not Talk to Idiots Every day There is another outrageous statement From this preacher or that preacher Saying that God spoke to them And told them that Trump Was anointed by God himself And would bring us all to the promised land Well I hate to bring it up But felt that I must If God exists And is all powerful Why would he waste his time Talking to these idiot preachers? And why would he anoint Trump The most ungodly of all politicians How do these preachers know It is God calling Does God speak to them? And what does God sound like? How did God talk to them? On the phone? By email? By tweet Or by visions or voices in their head? Or are they just raving lunatics Who think that God is calling them? God does not in my opinion Talk to idiots Nor should he tolerate these fools any more God does not send us hurricanes or tornados To punish us That is beneath his pay grade God is god and is mysterious And if he speaks to us at all We surely do not understand Anything he says As we have surely screwed up The teachings of his prophets So I wish to end this by saying Oh you false prophets STFU God is not calling you And never has Just SFTU already |
