Ideological Imperialism

See things my way if you want to live
the right way.
Drink this sugar water
while we watch.
I'm not asking
I'm spelling it out.
Think wrongly and we will know;
show us your bookshelf.
The curfew is set up
so lie back down.
You know what we expect
exceed our unclear mandates.
You won't like the or else
it's not a good option.
These terms are absolute
your conditions are our business.
I am afraid
so you must fear me.
We are fear
expressions of rage.
Fealty is not enough
you'll do more than swear.
All the land is ours
including your mind.
