The Enemy Within

There’s nothing sylvan

about the Ivy League

Subversive in nature

all take and no give

In period camouflage

they feign to belong

Their hatchlings abhorrent

together they throng

 

Our country’s traditions

they chop on the block

What many have died for

their travesty mocks

And living entitled

they suck and they draw

Rewriting our history

—their lies become law
