Where Are The Statesmen and Women?
(written by Ila Farrar-DiMino)
Where are citizens echoing
"Give me liberty, or give me death"?
Where is a statesman whose wisdom and courage
could cross a frozen Delaware to save an army and
a nation?
One declaring his signature boldly so a despot
was certain to see it?

To the Western Statesmen
You've taken people as yourselves?
— Lying backwards, feeding on blood?

To lampoon these crude sketches of

These elegant thieves, who try to deceive.
Mistaking our peeves, they call us naïve;
In lieu of reprieve - our sad hearts must grieve.
