The Old Warrior Terror

Did you hear?

After everything

the Old Warrior Terror

died a natural death at home,

in bed.

Just reward

for having proclaimed abroad

that True Believers never

doubt;

True Revolutionaries never

smile.

Judge Every One with Perfect Calm

Follow the train full of bodies;

listening in the tiny wails

for reassurance of your mighty

right. Ride up and down the gorges

on your horse

collecting scalps.

Your creed is simple, and even

true: We learn from each other

by doing. Period.

Judge every one with perfect calm.

Stand this man here and that one

there;

mouths begging open holes.

Let them curtsey into the ditch

dug before them.

They will not recall tomorow

your judgment of today.
