Is to become a student activist.
For the dead never vote. Or almost never.
A student activist delivers votes,
Even the votes of the dead. To kill, and to
Be killed for the sake of democracy
Is the highest purpose that these boys can serve.
And what can his obituary say?
He died for liberty? For decency?
He died to make the world a better place?
Dead in a boarding house at twenty-five,
Bathed by his blood; we used the boy to please
The west, the fair-faced people -- to feel bloody white.
