Anne Stevenson - In A Report From the Border lyrics

Wars in peacetime don't behave like wars So loving they are Kissed on both cheeks, silk-lined amba**adors Pose and confer Unbuckle your envy, drop it there by the door We will settle We will settle without blows or bullets The unequal score In nature, havenots have to be many And havelots few Making money out of making money Helps us help you This from the party of useful words. From the other Hunger's stare Drowned crops, charred hopes, fear, stupor, prayer And literature
