Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Quote
Pity the nation whose people are sheep, and whose shepherds mislead them. Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced, and whose bigots haunt the airwaves. Pity the nation that raises not its voice, except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as heroand aims to rule the world with force and by torture. Pity the nation that knows no other language but its ownand no other culture but its own. Pity the nation whose breath is moneyand sleeps the sleep of the too well fed. Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erodeand their freedoms to be washed away. My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.
