Or kill in war with most proficiency,
Self-righteous hypocrites who but deceive
Ourselves and one another; we despise
The Druid for his paganism, meanwhile
We worship Gold as though it were a god,
And call ourselves good Christians
Old Proletarius seems to have been quite the socialist - and a Freemason to boot. Couldn't help thinking how little has changed since his day and how well his words fit present politics. Slight reworking of the above for Bush, Blare and their politics in the Middle East - hope Old Proletarius would approve ;-)
Or kill in war with most proficiency,
Self-righteous hypocrites who but deceive
Ourselves and one another; we despise
The Muslim for his terrorism, meanwhile
We worship Oil as though it were a god,
And call ourselves good Christians.
