This is what Kipling wrote. An altered version made the rounds here that uses the word "Saxon" instead, with a few other alterations. The original fits us better, even though it was written about WWI. I wish we hadn't been so slow to act and I still don't see a peaceful solution, but now bombarding State legislators and taking over the R party at the County level is the way forward.
It's just a poem. Easily searchable. Powerfully fitting for us now!
I have never read until now...thank you for that.
"It was not preached to the crowd, It was not taught by the State. No man spoke it aloud, When the English began to hate."
