The Rider from a Dream





And then I slept
And, waking in the wasted air,
Saw and heard thus -
He whom I saw seemed like a cavalier,
And I heard this:
"Watching my people die 
Does not satisfy 
even if they broke their word,
Even if they deserve  
to be governed by King Turd.

Roosevelt, Churchill and Eden
Bastards to a man,
Liar, Jew and glutton
have squeezed the people dry 
like sheep! 

EZRA POUND 
Canto LXXIII - Cavalcanti - Republican Dispatches
