Fascism comes to a country through fear As some of us see when it comes like here "Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" But fearful jubilation feels like loss Not feeling afraid I could feel left out As out-of-style where fear is in the air Doubling down dumb is becoming the style But I feel too polite to fight and shout Like some of the fearfully dumb here who Want the end of the world to come (for some) Having been saved not by faith but my doubt About being afraid to be and do To do and be out-of-style with a smile Like Voltaire and a certain savoir faire The fearful have won but still I insist Until the dumb wise up I will resist The fearful have chosen but I have made My choice too: I will not be made afraid Steven Curtis Lance
