Wystan Hugh Auden : 1907-1973

All I have is voice
To undo the folded lie
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man on-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky

There is no such a thing as the state
And no one exists alone
Hunger allows no choice ;
To the citizen or the police
We must love one another or die
