i wonder if he had something particular in mind i dont think he did, to be honest, which makes it that much more ominous it takes a lot for a canadian to write something like the last stanza. think about that

He also wrote Democracy Is Coming To The USA. As with others subjects of great power, he had a complicated relationship with it. Not a ding on the power of the last stanza at all. If anything I believe him more for that complication.

May I ask who wrote the text in your image, and - if possible- under what circumstances?
