The Secret Weapon
“Lucio,” in the “Manchester Guardian,” takes for the theme of his topical verse, Hitler’s boast of “a secret weapon.” I have a weapon, he said, that none shall use As we shall use it, unmoved by mercy or ruth; Be ours the devices of darkness that blind and bemuse — Let us make war on Truth. Mangle their bodies if so it will serve our aim, March them away to their do@m tn its various kinds. IMe shall survive.; for our further shelter and shame Let us mangle their minds. Let the lie be their master; in action, as speech Let falsehood be now and for ever our weapon of worth; Let it ring round the world -with our shadow and reach To the end of the earth.
