Never Forget the One Percent

Steven Wittenberg Gordon

How often have we heard with scorn about the one percent--

The elite effete and indiscreet upper echelons of men?

And how oppressed and so distressed the other ninety-nine?

O!  How they scream and how protest and how they howl and whine!

Without a thought for freedom fought and won time and again

By a strong and silent one percent who volunteered and did consent

To protect us and our way of life.  To them I say, “Amen!”
