battles in Europe ceased and desist
but peace and security in the states were amiss
replacing our almost found happiness
was fear of anarchy, immigrants and communists
in China it was bread by Chiang Kai-Shek
his processor Mao Zedong brought it to full effect
this red scare spread like wildfire
Klaus Fuchs a German felt inspired
having the soviets build the Atomic Bomb
to recreate the actions of Vietnam
the U.S. started the Energy Commission
wanting to defend against the threat that has risen
here at home in the states
things had become irate
brother against brother, friend against friend
coworker turning against coworker with the Hollywood Ten
spies with the turn of every corner
Washington had to deal with citizens not foreigners
Truman spoke only of pacifistic loyalty
better said then done with distrust growing like algae
