Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс)
Reform
The time has come when men with hearts and brains Must rise and take the misdirected reins Of government; too long left in the hands Of aliens and of lackeys. He who stands And sees the mighty vehicle of State Hauled through the mire to some ignoble fate And makes not such bold protest as he can, Is no American.
