WHERE IS THE FLAG OF ENGLANDs


A Poem From London Truth Hits the
Nail.
Inc London Truth, with it's poetry,
some years ago hit the English situation
more savagely than any American or
Irish newspaper has attempted so far.
But at present we Americans have no
right to condemn England's robber
policy. Our walters are practicing
the same thing. The following NAV be
termed scorcher:
And the winds of the North made ans
wer,
North South and East, and West:
wherever there's wealth to covet,
Or land that can be possessd;
Wherever are savage races
To cozen, coerce and scare,
Ye shall find the vaunted ensign:
For the English flag is there
"Ay, it waves DER the blazing hovels
Where African victims fly,
To be shot by explosive bullets.
VI " WlcICHeuly SIdINe ana ole.
And where the beachcomber harries
The isles of the southern sea,
At the peak of his hellsh vessel
'Tis the English flag flies free.
The Maori oft hath cursed it.
With his bitterest dying breath;
And the Arab Kissed his hatred
AS he spit at it's folds in death.
The hapless Felah has feared it
On Tel-el Kerbir's parched plain,
And the Zulu's blood has stained it
With a deep. ndelible stain
1T has foated DER scenes of pillage,
1t has Haunted DER deeds of shame,
It has waved DER the fell marauder
AS he ravished with sword and fame.
1t has looked upon ruthless slaughter
And massacre dire and grim
1t has heard the shrieks of the victims
Drown even the jingo hymn.
Where is the flag Of England?
Seek the land where the natives rot!
Where decay and assured extinction
Must soon be the peoples lot
Go. search for the once glad islands,
Where disease and death are rife,
And the greed of a callous commerce
Now fattens on human life
Where is the flag of England?
Go sail where rich galleons come
With shOddy and loaded cottons,
And beer and bibles, and rum:
Go, too where brute force has
triumphed,
And hypocrisry makes it's lair;
And your question will find it's answer,
For the flag Of England is there!"
