Perhaps….Our Fears - Realized Poem by James B. Earley

Contemplating…the bitter image
There's no hidden….mystery...
Yesteryear's…Third Reich moment
...A mirrored likeness we clearly see

The politician……his needy public
….Evil spirits….souls entwined
Repulsive horror….epitomized...
Auschwitz' deaths indeed defined

Sordid vision fueled a purpose
Bigotry…..would guide the way
The process…arrived full circle
….As evidenced…Election Day

Auschwitz…gone…we thought forever
…Never again….humanity's cries
Yet…that abject….mirrored likeness
….Perhaps…..our fears….realized
