who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?
— e.e. cummings

Usually translated as: It is fitting and proper to die for the Fatherland...

Most of his contemporaries didn't get the subtlety of his mesage then and people today still don't.
