 LEARNING FROM HISTORY

A Modest Proposal; or, a Homage to Jonathan Swift(1667-1745)

Learning from history,
we should, like Sulla after taking Rome
did to his senatorial foes,
proscribe every billionaire.

A cleansing act of natural justice
unbridled, following
the great tradition of the
Western Civilization -

it was good enough for
Anthony, Octavian and Lepidus,
after Caesar had been slain,
to purify a diseased body politic.

We should proscribe every billionaire.
