"and bow to every image
lick the boots of the soldier"

it 'aint going to happen unles it were truly God's war, as past histories have said with warnings sincerely against the encroachment not the croak.

The doom is not in our judgements.

nothing behind them

a tag

But the manipulations of in a moment of need,
