In this history
Curtains of smoke...
But his eyes can’t disguise—
a lawless soul.
Cold.
Unkind.
Unwise.
History echoes
while Orwell sleeps.
The past repeats
in the silence it keeps.
In this history...
the past returns to call.
Tariffs starve the masses—
the same whose names
they disgrace:
of history’s queer, BIPOC, and displaced—
erased.
Doublethink festers,
and truth is replaced.
Gerrymandering sharpens—
a blade in disguise.
Voices suppressed
beneath patriotic lies.
History’s corpse
is dressed up in “choice,”
while power distorts
the will of your voice.
In this history...
propaganda wins.
A dictator speaks
of "protecting the land,"
through orange-tinted schemes
and veiled commands.
Oligarchs strike
with gold-drenched fists,
rewriting the truth
with imperial twists.
In this history...
the truth is dismissed.
Come all...
heed the call.
Before this nation
stumbles and falls.
Rise as one—
both big and small.
Stand.
Face the tyrant’s wall.
For silence
is a tyrant’s friend.
And history breaks
where we won’t bend.
But truth still burns—
it won’t rescind...
If we choose to stand.
And fight.
