The re-der here dishonors tthe poem with her fl-t delivery. Find some other re-der to do justice to MMcR-e's words.
McCrae's response to Nietzsche? “Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: I seek God! I seek God! … Whither is God? he cried; I will tell you. We have killed him - you and I. All of us are his murderers...How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? ... Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

A biblical poem from the dawn of the 20th century, there is a lot of Victorian rhetoric in this that reminds me of the age it comes from.
a poetic message that is always going to be relevant to mankind? who will never listen whilst diamonds and gold glisten! .........well penned.
A great philosophical poem with a profound message for the mankind who should not go by its vanity to fulfill its selfish objectives as reflected in these words- 'Our own king are we'. Thanks.
John congratulations on your poem being named poem of the day. It is a very powerful piece. Beautifully written
Beautiful poetic portrayal of a society void of justice, where big fish feed off small fish ('Matsyanyay' in Sanskrit) , and its ultimate road to perdition! I loved the brevity of expression!
A superb example of how poetry succinctly captures a primal truth: that the fitting dissolution of ungovernable free-will creatures is wrought by nature's obedience to the corrective will of the sovereign and just Law-Giver. Never better said!
You describe the world during Noah's day before the worldwide flood. You have also described much of today's contemporary society. You also described both God's reaction, but also His redemption,
Such a great poem. I love how it describe's God's reaction. The poet is truly talented in his works.
Like the title suggests its real anarchy. And a case of over reaction on both sides.still its a good poem.
Speak not of God! In centuries that word Hath not been uttered! Our own king are we. SO GREAT AND EXPRSSIVE I like this om very much
