Edgar Lee Masters - On A Picture Of John D. Rockefeller
Work rating: Low

If thou, Columbia, dost from this, thy son-- 
The condor beak and python eyes--recoil, 
Bethink thee of the years that Freedom`s soil 
Was husbanded by devil-feet which run 
To scatter lies and wrongs; until thereon 
Huge growths do thrive, once meadow, by the toil 
Of pioneers; where now resort for spoil 
The mouths and beaks that hunt for carrion. 
In years to come, if men mid the debris 
Of this republic shall explore the cause 
Of vast decay, two faces will appear: 
The perjured Marshall, who with sorcery 
Planted the jungle of unequal laws, 
And this huge reptile, now a nation`s Fear!
