They installed a bookshelf in the faculty lounge
And congratulated themselves for
Trying to bring us together
With a battlefield.

I look for change every week.
Some proselytizer 
Put Dinesh D'Souza on the shelf.
I stole into the lounge at night
And put D'Souza in the garbage.

I like to see the books nobody wants:
Two Dares to Lead,
And six Hillbilly Elegies,
Gifts from our betters 
On how we can be better

Looking for survivors,
I shelved a copy of Settlers 
And Labor Law for the Rank and Filer
But they haven't moved.

I'm looking for friends,
But I can't find the living.
