God Send The Regicide

written by

Vachel Lindsay

Would that the lying rulers of the world
Were brought to block for tyrannies abhorred.
Would that the sword of Cromwell and the Lord,
The sword of Joshua and Gideon,
Hewed hip and thigh the hosts of Midian.
God send that ironside ere tomorrows sun;
Let Gabriel and Michael with him ride.
God send the Regicide.
