[image: image.png] Opening thoughts poem by Lyn Ekedahl *How Germany Fell* Who’d have thought that our leaders would crumble and kneel? Who’d have thought they’d so quickly be brought to Trump’s heel? Who’d have thought that so many—our brightest and best— Would fold up like curtains when put to the test?
We knew that the whole G O P had gone missing, But hoped one or two would refrain from butt kissing. The tech bros, okay, they’re at best libertarians, But I still would have thought they’d reject the barbarians.
University presidents, university boards, With the best educations our country affords, Supposedly wed to our right to free speech, Are caving before they’re within Donald’s reach.
Corporate leaders are closing their D E I programs, Afraid to stand up to Trump’s battering bro rams. Top Democrats say, “Just be patient and wait!” “Perhaps Trump and his cohort will seal their own fate!”
It’s shock, fear, and greed that are driving this caving. Given time, maybe some will the Trump coup start braving. But time we don’t have, as they’re moving so fast. Wake up please, dear leaders. Take a look at the past!
It didn’t take long for the Germans to crumble, For Hitler and brown shirts to pillage and rumble. And if how Germany fell has never been clear, Take a good look around cause it’s happening here!
