In Europe's heart where shadows loom,
A tale unfolds, a darkened gloom.
In twenty-twenty-four, the stage is set,
Right-wing whispers, a foreboding bet.
The dictator is coming for you,
In lands where skies once so blue.
As the little folk dance to a divisive tune,
The dictator is coming to catch you.
In the East, where winds of change persist,
Thirty-five percent, a clenched fist.
The common man, a pawn in the game,
Misguided, misled, to his own shame.
The dictator is coming for you,
In lands where skies once so blue.
As the little folk dance to a divisive tune,
The dictator is coming to catch you.
The "little citizen," with knowledge thin,
Lost in the webs that false truths spin.
Democracy wanes, yet the truth eludes,
In the labyrinth of lies where it intrudes.
China and Russia, their shadows grow,
A power play, as puppeteers sow.
Undermining democracies, a grand design,
In the symphony of chaos, a dangerous sign.
The dictator is coming for you,
In lands where skies once so blue.
As the little folk dance to a divisive tune,
The dictator is coming to catch you.
Close your eyes, but stay aware,
In this sardonic melody of despair.
As the dictator's shadow continues to accrue,
Remember, it's coming for me and for you.
