Jessie Pope - The Blackest Lie
Work rating: Low

(The Frankfurter Zeitung states that Belgium intrigued with England and France to drag Germany into war.)

BIG bully Belgium, 
Breathing blood and flame, 
Crafty as a serpent 
In a cunning game, 
Sent a note to England, 
Sent a note to France, 
"Let us crush the Fatherland 
While we have the chance!" 

Poor little Germany, 
Gentle land of peace, 
Seeking the Millennium, 
When armaments shall cease ; 
Rather grieved than angry, 
Called her sons to fight, 
To protect their Fatherland, 
As was only right. 

Hurry with the whitewash, 
Pour it out in streams ! 
Bleach the ravaged country, 
Louvain, Antwerp, Rheims ! 
Belgium concocted war, 
Thus deserves her fate ! 
That`s the blackest Teuton lie 
Published up to date.
