FACES OF FASCISM


We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Edward R. Murrow

A room has a full-length mirror on every wall.
When you look into the mirrors you will see the ugly
FACES OF FASCISM.
The faces belong to pompous and self-righteous leaders.
The ogre-like reflections of these faces
bounce off of the other mirrors in the room,
and this will go on forever, just like the perpetual war
that these bellicose physiognomies have conceived.
Now I know the true meaning of these words by George Orwell:
“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- forever.”
