Anarchy and Anarchists

The "Last Will" of Sacco and Vanzetti

 

King Solomon of Israel got it right, "There is nothing new under the sun".

And as for whomever came up with, "The more things change, the more they stay the same", he got it right as well.

Click on the photo below for the story of Sacco and Vanzetti, or don't, you'll be reading about it in the paper soon enough anyway.

Only the names will have changed.

 
 
 
We, Sacco and Vanzetti, sound of body and mind,
 
Devise and bequeath to all we leave behind,
 
The worldly wealth we inherited at our birth,
 
Each one to share alike as we leave this earth.
 
To Wit:
 
To babies we will their mothers’ love,
 
To youngsters we will the sun above.
 
To spooners who wont to tryst the night,
 
We give the moon and stars that shine so bright.
 
To thrill them in their hours of joy,
 
When boy hugs maid and maid hugs boy.
 
To nature’s creatures we allot the spring and summer,
 
To the doe, the bear, the gold-finch and the hummer.
 
To the fishes we ascribe the deep blue sea,
 
The honey we apportion to the bustling bee.
 
To the pessimist—good cheer—his mind to sooth,
 
To the chronic liar we donate the solemn truth.
 
And Lastly:
 
To those who judge solely seeking renown,
 
With blaring trumpets of the fakir and clown;
 
To the prosecutor, persecutor, and other human hounds,
 
Who’d barter another’s honor, recognizing no bounds,
 
To the Governor, the Jury, who another’s life they’d sell—
 
We endow them with the fiery depths of HELL!
