BaalChatzaf Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 For some reason, the candidacy of Ron Paul brings to mind the poem by Rudyard Kipling, -Recessional-.In particular these verses:Far-called, our navies melt away; On dune and headland sinks the fire:Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,Lest we forget - lest we forget!If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe--Such boasting as the Gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the law--Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,Lest we forget - lest we forget!For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard--All valiant dust that builds on dust, And guarding, calls not Thee to guard--For frantic boast and foolish word,Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!Just a thought.Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
