Guns are being seized.
Government stockpiles ammo.
Insurrection soon?!
Here dead lie we because we did not choose
To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose;
But young men think it is, and we were young.

Housman rivals Shakespeare in what might be termed "direct statement." Housman is certainly a major poet, and one of our very best critics of society, war and religion, along with William Blake, Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde.

There is no glory in outstripping donkeys.—Marcus Valerius Martial

The Garden
by Ezra Pound

Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall
She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,
And she is dying piece-meal
               of a sort of emotional anemia. 

And round about there is a rabble
Of the filthy, sturdy, unkillable infants of the very poor.
They shall inherit the earth.

In her is the end of breeding.
Her boredom is exquisite and excessive.

She would like some one to speak to her,
And is almost afraid that I
             will commit that indiscretion.

Ezra Pound's "The Garden" is a wonderful miniature of "proper society" and its class distinctions. Like India, western nations have their castes, and the poor especially are discriminated against everywhere. 

As blushing may make a whore seem virtuous, so modesty may make a fool seem sensible.—Jonathan Swift

Jerusalem
by William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

What Blake called "Satanic mills" the American president Dwight D. Eisenhower would later call the "military-industrial complex." Blake's Funny poem is a poetic call to arms against church and state, as long as they practice false religion, voodoo economics and war. 

If you think you're too small to make an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.—Edith Sitwell

Advice for Winston
by  T. Merrill

Why not just impose the old Zurich curfew,
drive everyone indoors early, arrest
anyone caught in the street past eleven.

Surely that would bring to an end
all disapproved transactions 
conducted in the blind of night

as well as providing a superabundance
of quietude, a lullaby 
for the fierce upholders of right.

Maybe you've never been approached 
by someone peddling forbidden fruit
and felt glad the option was there,

but far better they, any day, I'd say
than heaven's unleashed hounds
accosting anyone they please

with gratuitous curiosities.
Do you really want to live that way?
And now with all the good people 

being asked to spy on everyone else 
and supplement the force, Winston, 
make yourself thin, shrink 

out of the screen's wide eye, 
it's a quarter century ago,
and so, 

1984, here we come
Tom Merrill is obviously not a fan of "the fierce upholders of right" but the real question is why so many voters in supposedly "free" societies abide "heaven's unleashed hounds."   Funny politic poems Prohibition didn't stop anyone from drinking, but it did put a lot of money and power in the hands of men like Al Capone. Hasn't the "war on drugs" accomplished very similar ends, without preventing anyone from using if they really want to?  
The births of all things are weak and tender, 
therefore we should have our eyes intent on beginnings.
