So spoke the 'Kingfish'...

by Huey Long
(late Governor of Louisiana, assassinated in 1935).

Where are the schools
that you have waited for your children to have,
that have never come?

Where are the roads and the highways
that you send your money to build,
that are no nearer now than ever before?

Where are the institutions
to care for the sick and disabled?

Your tears in this country
have lasted for genera­tions.
Give me the chance to dry the eyes
of those who still weep here.
