Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the Democrats
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Kenya
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape of an donkey and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and smerky as a QVC host,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant lefty congressmen.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That forty years of welfare, political correctness, and counterculture
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Washington to be born?
