Poets Laureate should probably steer clear of current events as inspiration for their work. Otherwise they might end up looking ridiculous.

Mr. Einstein shows up in a rather disturbing light, too. He lists a few problems, and then casts the blame for them:

"This is due to the fact that the intelligence and character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce something valuable for the community."

How very much in line with the other despotic forces of the day....
