Ready To Kill Analysis

Ten minutes now I have been looking at this.

I have gone by here before and wondered about it.

This is a bronze memorial of a famous general

Riding horseback with a flag and a sword and a revolveron him.

I want to smash the whole thing into a pile of junk to behauled away to the scrap yard.

I put it straight to you,

After the farmer, the miner, the shop man, the factoryhand, the fireman and the teamster,

Have all been remembered with bronze memorials,

Shaping them on the job of getting all of us

Something to eat and something to wear,

When they stack a few silhouettesAgainst the skyHere in the park,

And show the real huskies that are doing the work ofthe world, and feeding people instead of butchering them,

Then maybe I will stand here

And look easy at this general of the army holding a flagin the air,

And riding like hell on horseback

Ready to kill anybody that gets in his way,

Ready to run the red blood and slush the bowels of menall over the sweet new grass of the prairie.
