the fascists had great style 

were very witty 

their women were charming

 

they had sympathizers 

and for time 

seemed to be winning 

 

there was something appealing 

about a logic everyone could 

understand 

 

not like our lives

messy and imperfect 

full of obvious errors 

 

we reenact these struggles 

every night 

the outcome's always in question
