Exactly the Same - 1939

Exactly the Same - 1939

 

They are exactly the same

as we peer into the past

 and absorb the present 

a new generation is brainwashed

 

The President for Life

in a one party state

A Fuehrer for Life

in a one party state

 

Jews, gypsies, gays and dissidents

segregated for extermination

Uighur Muslims and dissidents

selected for re education or elimination

 

Lebensraum for the superior race

the invasion of europe

Military expansion in the

South China Sea and India

 

Religion dismissed as subversive

churches are closed or destroyed

Synagogues burned to the ground

yellow stars issued to Jews

 

Massive military parades in Bejing

mass rallies in Nuremburg

People turned into robots

the State subjugates the individual

 

Nationalism above Patriotism

Banners and flags in an abundance

They speak in different tongues

but use the same language

 

Exactly the Same 2020

The Icberg melts but the 

water freezes again

 

◄ Gangster Town

An interesting analogy with enough similarities to get us thinking - always a good thing!
