There are two Key Wests. They occupy the same island but are worlds apart. The sham Key West is a show for tourists; the Real Key West belongs to those of us who live here. Come with us now ... to the Real Key West.

This poem is referring to the BCCLT Board, obviously.
Yes, and the "barbarians" are the taxpayers about to hammer down the doors of the various BCCLT emperors and hangers-on to find out why, how, when they squandered or watched being squandered their tax money over so many years...and had the nerve in May-June to attack those saying a long hard examination was due for the land trust books.
