Take Five, #3: Recognizing the Enemy

The third poem from tonigh’s short-form poetry workshop relied on the following words:

Take Five, Part 2:

1 – defenestration
the action of throwing someone or something out of a window.
the action of dismissing someone from a position of power or authority
2- hapax
a word that only appears once in a work of or genus of literature or in a body of work by a particular author.
3- emetic
a medicine or other substance that causes vomiting.
4- .colaphize
To beat of buffet
5- vicissitude
A change of circumstances or fortune, typically one that is unwelcome or unpleasant.

From Rules for Radicals, by Saul Alinsky:
Recognizing the Enemy
by Michel Romani

My forgiving nature has seen it's vicissitude
Finally tiring of the unrelenting attitude
Writing your poetry as a sort of hermetic
I find your words the worse type of emetic
While your darkness seeps in it's penetration
The works of Marx are fit only for defenestration
Alinsky's dedication to Lucifer is a verbal colaphize
That is unfit for any civilized sort of eyes
You'd think republican was some sort of hapax
To the uncouth who now  seek to destroy America through tax
