The Enemy Within

Kurt Philip Behm

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

    Do I sense a faint suggestive Luminatti suggestion? Either way, there is serious disproportion of measuring informal and formal influence that determines life changing policy and law. Nice piece. Many props.

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    We're up to our asses in alligators and nobody is willing
    to drain the swamp. When I was a kid, garbage pails sat
    outside kitchens in the ground. Once in a while they would
    draw ants. I was out there trying to stamp them out with
    my Chuck Taylors when my Grandmother motioned through
    the window for me to stop.

    Ten minutes later she came through the kitchen door with
    a pot full of scalding boiling water which she dumped all
    over the top of the submerged pail.

    As she walked back into the kitchen she said to me... "Son,
    that's the only way to kill piss ants."

    Societally, were in the same place.

    Thanks for reading.

    Kurt
