A Bourgeois Committee Admiring Itself A Cautionary Tale for Secessionists The way of republics is to fall apart Because without history, Altar, and Throne A government is but a little boy’s blocks Kicked over and aside upon a mood A culture is poetry, and melodies that live And flow with the waters, stories of kings, Farmers and workers proud upon the land Their heads bowed nobly when the Angelus rings These truths make a people royal, not subject to A bourgeois committee admiring itself
