The Enemy Within

We’re old enough. We’ve heard this song before
It’s from the 1930s score.
They talked of enemies from within.

It’s a familiar theme,
More than just a frightening dream.
Its drumbeat ushered the holocaust in.

We know these words, because we’ve heard them all before.
The people answered never more.
We can’t erase that memory.

The foe we must defeat
Threatens lives with every tweet.
He is our enemy within.
