In the long ago Ralph Waldo EN-
erson gave us the following poem:
God said am tired of kings,
/ suffer them no more;
Up to my ear the morning brings
The suffering of the poor.
Think you l made this sphere
A field for havoc and for war,
Where tyrants great land tyrants
small
May harry the weak and poor?
My knights name is freedom,
Choose, you, him for your king.
He shall cut pathways east and west
And fend you with his wing.
