What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the - TopicsExpress



          

What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king! From The Road of Kings by Robert E. Howard. This verse reminds me of white collar criminals, crooked lawyers and judges, criminals, etc. It makes me think if civilization totally collapses their power, pull, prestige, wealth, all will mean nothing and can not help them! Then it will be who is strong, who is a man, who can survive. Like it said, their slick tongues, positions and clever ruses in society, their lies, etc, will not help them when the broadswords sing! I love that poem!
