THE POLICY AND THE PENDULUM





Non ci sono molte poesie sulla geopolitica. Eppure la geopolitica dà forma in grande misura al nostro mondo e quindi alle nostre vite.

Il n'y a pas beaucoup de poèmes sur la géopolitique. Pourtant, la géopolitique façonne dans une très large mesure notre monde, et donc nos vies.

There are not many poems about geopolitics. Yet geopolitics shapes to a very great degree our world, and therefore our lives.
 
THE POLICY AND THE PENDULUM [excerpt]


The Ivy Leaguers
Are in their Poe-gothic chambers –
Ravens gone stealth,
Drapes slowly billowing,
While a malignancy of terror
Flutters through hallways and minds.

Beyond les fenêtres
The gloom-concealed fields –
the bogs and the heaths,
The forests and the streets –
Are vast.
Its hard to imagine all,
and harder still to manage it.

But duty remains....
