A Dead Statesman (1924) and 2008

I could not dig, I dared not rob,
And so I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue,
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale will serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936)

(I reserve the write *cough* right to do poems when I am feeling lazy, busy, unin­spired or crap).
