To Our Unrelenting Enemies
Tell them
-They have come
To the fishless sea;
Needless is their net and
chums,
Useless! Their gaff and clonks.
Tell them
-They have come
To the metal land;
Where tilling is a waste,
And planting is unseen.
Tell them
-They have come
To the shadeless tree;
Where resting is unpleasant,
Where sun is in abundance.
Tell them
-And Sing to them
A single song;
Sing to them
Their failure!
