Robert Laurence Binyon - To The Enemy ComplainingRobert Laurence Binyon - To The Enemy Complaining
Work rating: Low


Be ruthless, then; scorn slaves of scruple; avow The blow, planned with such patience, that you deal So terribly; hack on, and care not how The innocent fall; live out your faith of steel. Then you speak speech that we can comprehend. It cries from the unpitied blood you spill. And so we stand against you, and to the end Flame as one man, the weapon of one will. But when your lips usurp the loyal phrase Of honour, querulously voluble Of ``chivalry`` and ``kindness,`` and you praise What you despise for weakness of the fool, Then the gorge rises. Bleat to dupe the dead! The wolf beneath the sheepskin drips too red.
