Lost Nation
Lost are we
Lost are we indeed
A nation once stood under God
A nation once prosperous
A nation once strong
A nation once just
Oh, lost are we indeed.
Murder is permitted
Yet the word of God is not
Not a prayer uttered
His name not mentioned once
How I fear the wrath of God
His great awakening
Lost
So lost are we.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
