Democracy
"The flag's off to that filthy place, and our speech drowns the sound of the drum.
In the centers we'll feed the most cynical whoring. We'll smash all logical revolts.
To the peppery dried-up countries!-in the service of the most gigantic industrial or military exploitation.
Goodbye to this place. No matter where we're off to. We conscripts of good will are going to display a savage philosophy;
ignorant in science, rakes where our comfort is concerned; and let the world blow up!
This is the real march. Forward, men!"
-Arthur Rimbaud
(written 1870-71, published 1886; translated by Wallace Fowlie)
