Disturbing Signs

Feeling empowered by president-elect

Trump, racist groups are emerging,

While in the past couple weeks

The number of hate crimes has been surging.

 

Over the past weekend a group

Celebrated the recent election

With Richard Spencer giving a speech

That shows the group's true complexion.

 

Spencer, current leader of

The National Policy Institute,

Ended his speech with "Hail, Trump!"

While listeners gave the Nazi salute.

 

The speech, referring to a "great struggle"

Of the white race--"people of the sun"--

Was full of white ethnocentric

Jargon, boldly and hatefully spun.

 

Sounding like Hitler in MEIN KAMPF,

Spencer is one who advocates

Ethnic cleansing all across

Europe and the United States.

 

Groups once on the fringe now feel

That Trump and Steve Bannon provide

A platform for them to spread their hate

And bigotry nationwide.

 

Unless Trump speaks out and condemns

Hate groups using his name to spread

Their racist messages, then this country

Faces scary times ahead.
