The Enemy Upon Us

Get caught in the dialectic before the day is late Don’t wait for an invitation as they slowly shut the gate The wolf now dressed in spun wool has broken from his cage He hungers more for what we’ve lost an ignorance of rage A traitor lurks in front of us to vanquish and to quell But time that stops for no one man the assassin pledged to hell The moment to act upon us the odds both long and wide A battle still worth fighting for those before who thought and died So if truth’s your greatest weapon wield it willingly and free The enemy is upon us —and must leave on bended knee (Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
