THE ENEMY

Within will prove
Relentless on
Its drive to fill
Inner pockets
As beast eats feast
At the cost of
Nothing to it
But pounds of cells
From its captive
Host being held
Down as the meek
(Or poor or weak
Or what have you
Done to the Earth
Shall inherit
What you have done
To the ones who
Need help finding
Their own bootstraps)
Have been booted
Or else strapped
Through history
And from inside
Are hollowed
Into bags at
A Halloween
Dinner, make that
Donner, party
Reenactment
Without wagons
Or horses or
Fear or remorse
