The Bankrupted State
(Cass. H. Kasim)
Ye white men and red men in anger arouse,
The life of a state is the cause you espouse
The servants ye chose your CHAPTER to draft
Have turned on their masters to plunder and graft
Our eastern twin-sister “The Beautiful Land”
Lioa prostrate beneath the despoiler’s red hand,
They have seised Oklahoma’s historical soil
And have parcelled it out as political spoil.
The whole wide domain of our crucified State
Like the garments of Christ on the eve of his fate
Divided and parcelled ia craxy quilt plots
The gamesters hav,* shared by casting of lota
They have severed the State into boroughs so small
That hordes of officials may pauperiae all,
And fatten on tribute wrung from your hands.
And swallow at last your homes and your lands.
Ye old pioneers who nurtured this land
Prom wild virgin sod to fields that expand
With harvests oi riches am hillside and plain,
Will yon new consent that your work shall be vain?
Submissive and meek.* will ye tamely yield,
While tricksters despoil tbs borne and the field.
And rob your old eg* of tbe frnite of your toil
That leefass may revel in pUlngo and spoilt
*4 ■
Arouse then ye people, the-peril is great.
Be loyal, be true, to our glorious State,
Strike down with the ballot this fabric of fraud
Preserve our good name at home and abroad,
Strike sham and pretense, wherever it shows
Its doubts faced image in Pharisee clothes.
Twere better another decade WO should wait,
Than to enter the Union a bankrupted state.
And ye bold usurpers, all drunken with power,
'Twere better ye pause ere the tempest cloud lower.
To oblivion’s cavern ye darkly shall sneak.
When the wrath of the people its thunders shall speak.
Your children shall blush when the trumpet of fame
To posterity heralds the story of shame.
Your names as a by-word when ye are in dust.
Will only be known as betrayers of trust.
