ANSWER To NOEL COWARD

you nay.
Concede we are not niggards:
Lend-lease, in ornaments, full purses,
speeches, too,
Promote the day we pray victorious.
We here at home are well aware of gesture
made.
Your colonial cousins, if you will
Now have to rearrange their life. entire,
Because the bloody deeds beyond the seas
transpire.
Come back. dear friend, and see what
happens here
Since those commitments have been made
That our great ally and your island queen
Retain her strength,
We are confused at home.
1t is not peoples who need fear,
For woe comes into friendship ties
Through ugly workings of the human race
In greed and selfish error
With the vainglory of an older school,
We have no empire to defend, refashion,
or repair;
Nor does the passing of a courtly elegance
In tumbling Europe's charnel houses
Much interest the individual, as such.
But we do feel akin to all who suffer
normal grief,
Such as the hungry babes or helpless
Souls made homeless meath the stars
They waken us to pity and help that
does not falter.
It Nor has it in the past
We need both faith and prayer
AS well as man-made strategy
To defeat the foe.
1t is perhaps too much to hope
That our fair land, sea-girt,
BY such horizons
AS now do marry easily
In the swift flight of planes
Could long remain alosf?
Thus, as is our wolE
We shall extend good evidence of faith
and bounty
We can be friends we should be friends.
Yet many are the trouble thoughts:
We're still confused: for one,
Why battle to set Poland free
If India still be fettered?
AS we see.
You and / have learned in arts illusion
That an exit must be brave
A villain all COMPOUNDED
Lies theater is composite,
We all play many parts;
'Tis here the element of time
Must draw the curtain
And disclose the true finale
The actors failing to appear
You sing God Save the King"
We sing "My Country 'Tis of TIL
The noble strains laid in frame
OF sturdy German melody
The text alone has changes
For tongues diverse in thought.
All of us pretend to brotherhood
But differ in our mind and action to its
pattern.
Briton-American-o too, of ancient
line.
Let each proclaim their nation,
Nor merge their colors to a hybrid
union now
As some would advocate.
Because you need u.s. then
Be understanding of such tie,
Surmount the obligation with less con-
descension
And we shall ne'er have reason to disavow
The common cause and brotherhood

ANSWER TO \
Please listen: I'm an American
And one of many such who has come to
conscious
knowledge of this precious fact
And goody heritage.
l muse in thought on our foretathers
And their struggle for Independence
All of us are proud-if often casual
OF our freedom.
It's resources of land and power
Diverted to use-sometimes abuse
With our fountain springs of freedom
Now lavishlv revised to suit these parlous
times.
EconomV-se achievement
From energy ensuing
To keep democracy alert and mindful
That it owes its life stream
To the current of its peoples temper
We seem to have lately taken on another
hue,
Alien to the red, white and blue
Of our priced banner,
Now raised, through disturbances and
warning theories,
To embrace the problems of the universe
entire,
Half slave, half free,
And see it compressed to mold of nebulous
design
By many, sincere Of heart and mind
Yet find not harmony or unison.
AS changing and as strange
AS those Atlantic pillows
Where was conceived the messianic
charter
Secret for a time
An instrument of men, but not of nations.
Yes, we are at war
And what was once roseate, now wears a
sable hue
Alliances are forged, strange ties proposed,
AS statesmen sit and ponder,
Or act to free the world,
Sometimes one asks-for whom and
So varied are the needs and aspirations
voiced
Confusion reigns-one doubts sanity.
We are youthful nation-true;
Many blood streams fused
To rouse the envy, perhaps the lust
Of older lands, that crumble now to dust
How far shall reach our helping hand,
How much the mortgage of our own fair
land?
How trust the feeble human minds
h. boi, f,,1
To set Alright world in flames?
We do admire-pay tribute to the stanch
and true:
Nor would one soldier lad of ours
Impugn a Briton's logged stamina
Nor his well-earned laurels in manhood's
defiance
Of defeat, indeed.
But little things were said land lnger)
Once on time.

Such chance, ungallant phrase
OF that first bloody drama
Where Uncle Shylock" was no badinage.
Must we repeat the sad. old tale
In present carnage that now leads us
To the very gates of hell?
Must we be ever fair weather friends
Courted only when danger calls,
And similarity of tongue
Be given as our means to understand
The purpose Of a dual heart and mind?
Strength lies in combination, astute and
wise;
We engage our brash, impulsive heart
With ballyhoo the band, the exhortations
The tarzan-b beating of the breast,
AS we pour money men, and yes,
Advice, as we'll
The while we marshal legions
To the distant battle of the fields and
skies.
