There’s no “pastoral eglantine”
Beneath dictatorship,
Because a body has to jine
De Party, or jump ship.
Diversity in human thought?
Forget it! Clarity?
All the Enlightenment for ought
Will not make people free.
The iron heel, the cold hard fist
Come down upon the throats
Of “traitor” and apologist:
It’s no matter for votes.
It was a land of simpletons
Determined to destroy
Freedom of speech and press at once
And called it a great joy.
