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.
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
