The Blood on the Blade: Global Inequality and War

The lucky country for who?
(Image by Oxfam.org)   Details   DMCA

I sit in one of the drives

On fifty-second Street

Uncertain and afraid

As the clever hopes expire

Of a low dishonest decade:

Waves of anger and fear

Circulate over the bright

And darkened lands of the earth,

Obsessing our private lives;

The unmentionable odor of death

Offends the September night".

--- W.H. Auden
