I see by the morning papers <br />That America's sturdy sons <br />Have started a investigation <br />Of the making of guns. <br /> <br />The morning paper tells me <br />They have asked the senate to guess <br />Whether Mr. Dupont and the gun-sharks <br />Have influence with the press. <br /> <br />I sit alone in the twilight <br />After my work is done <br />And wonder if my day's three and eight-pence <br />Would count on the price of a gun. <br /> <br />Was I started wrong as a kiddie, <br />And would my old man have been smarter <br />To send me to work in Vickers <br />Instead of being a carter?<br /><br />Ezra Pound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-bit-and-an-offer/
