Analysis and comments on The Chestnut Casts His Flambeaux by A.E. Housman

Watch subject. Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
What happened to us, people? When did we become such lemmings?
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren't living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.

A.E.Housman is an example of an excellent bad poet. His choice of language is striking, sometimes memorable. But the overall tone of the poems is embarrassingly mawkish.
