THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON

by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date

That the Saxon began to hate.

Leftards were born into the privilege their fathers fought for, so they didn't have to fight for it at all.
Since it was freely given to them, they presume, they can cancel Arab jealousy by freely giving it away.
Freedom has no value to those who didn't earn it.
