There is no such thing as the State And no one exists alone; Hunger allows no choice To the citizen or the police; We must love one another or die. - W. H. Auden

There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

We were put on this earth to make things.

Like love we don't know where or why
Like love we cant compel or fly
Like Love we often weep
Like Love we seldom keep

Lovers of small numbers go benignly potty,
Believe all tales are thirteen chapters long,
Have animal doubles, carry pentagrams,
Are Millerites, Baconians, Flat-Earth-Men.

Lovers of big numbers go horribly mad,
would have the Swiss abolished, all of us
Well-purged, somatotyped, baptised, taught baseball:
They empty bars, spoil parties, run for Congress.
