Autocracy Rise

Ten rounds into an innocent.
Celebrations by the unrepentant.

Illegally block off roads.
Torn asunder the operating code.
State funded police against your people.
Giving carte blanche to be evil.
Spouting excuses and reasons why.
Democracy continues to die.

Execution while trying to flee.
Terrified but harming nobody.

In a car living their lawful way.
Harassed by Nazis in broad day.
Shots fired over some false accusations.
No soul is safe from harm.
Masked nobodies going off like a bomb.
A nation in a massive prison.

Only allegiance is to a would-be dictator.
If in doubt kill any spectator.

Peaceful demonstrations decried.
How long before an internal war is tried?
Fascists aiming at the peaceful.
Demented leader who is deceitful.
Word vomit into the ether.
Fall in line or you might disappear.

Freedom banished.
State surveillance brandished.
Keeping tabs on a national scale.
