A supremely fast poem, to state an understatement. This poem is rapidly and quickly running through famous patriotic lines at a fast pace. Because of the last line "He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water." (Cummings) we can assume that the person is a speaker, and possibly a politician. Most politicians generally do not say much, if anything, and this satirical work is proving that. Throw enough random lines together, say it quickly, and people will rejoice, all to afraid that if they speak up for not understanding that they will be mocked and ridiculed. Corruption, ignorance, and embarrassment rule the country. all it takes is a person with a strong hand and a time of peace to gain acceptance by the people. The trouble arises when an actually issue comes up, and then the politician that faked their way to the top is left high and dry. The truth is this country and the people in it need a change. The answer is knowledge and common sense.
