Poem lines :
Distinguish carefully between these two,
This thing is yours, that other thing is mine.
You have a shirt, brimless hat, a shoe
And half a coat. I am the lord benign
Of fifty hundred acres of fat land
To which I have your right. You understand?
I have a right because I have, because,
Because I have, because I have a right.
Now be quite calm and good, obey the laws,
Remember your love station, do not fight
Against the goad, because you know, it pricks,
Whenever the uncleanly Demos kicks.
I do not envy you your hat, your shoe.
Why should you envy me my small estate?
It's fearfully illogical of you
To fight with economic force and fate.
Moreover, I have got the upper hand,
And mean to keep it. Do you understand?
