ELEGY IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD

Short but to the point, a poem that emphasizes what many truly feel about out 'ruling' classes.

--------------------------------- ----------------------------------

The men that worked for England

They have their graves at home:

And bees and birds of England

About the cross can roam.

But they that fought for England,

Following a falling star,

Alas, alas for England

They have their graves afar.

And they that rule in England,

In stately conclave met,

Alas, alas for England,

They have no graves as yet.

G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
