You dwell in whitened castles with deep and poisoned moats and cannot hear the curses which fill your children's throats. With deep and poisoned moats...... very fine and very expressive. tony

While we are knowlonger living so close on the eve of destruction, the atom bomb is still the shadow of a noose that hangs around civilizations. Angelou does an amazing job contextualizing the fear and horror that this weapon does, in the hands of countries like America the world submits to terror at what these powers could unleash. A great choice for Modern poem of the day!
