“You are dying. I see in you all the characteristic stigma of decay. I can prove to you that your great wealth and your great poverty, your capitalism and your socialism, your wars and your revolutions, your atheism and your pessimism and your cynicism, your immorality, your broken-down marriages, your birth-control, that is bleeding you from the bottom and killing you off at the top in your brains — I can prove to you that those were characteristic marks of the dying ages of ancient States — Alexandria and Greece and neurotic Rome.”
Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West

The Death of Mandy-Lou Perkins remains a mystery
She wanted to make movies and went to the big city
Little Mandy had no means, but she had ideas...
And every night under the artificial lights
Little Mandy danced for me
One day Mandy met a man
He was older and had a plan
Mandy-Lou jumped in his car
And she went so far...
Nobody ever saw Mandy again
She was found dead rotting in the rain
No one ever saw the old man
He probably had a plan

I have always been scared of you,
Of your Aryan eyes, so blue.
Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You——
No God but a swastika
So black no sky could squeak through.
Every woman loves a Fascist,
The boot in the face, the brute
Brute heart of a brute like you.
Adapted from Sylvia Plath's poem: Daddy
