The Legions Will Come
They will come
massed in ranks,
battalions and regiments,
young men and women enlisted
in a good cause
led by a bespoke
charismatic charlatan
preaching eloquently
about something or other
we can all believe in
they will come
for those unpatriotic citizens
who resist the clamorous crowds -
camps for re-education will spring up
like weeds in a vacant lot.
