CANTO VI - The Barmecidal Aegis
The truth is (see previous poem/quotes) that in wishing to
hurt others, we only hurt ourselves, not only because the
retaliation to these prohibitions is so easy to devise that
other nations do not fail to think of it in their turn, but also
because we deprive our own nation of the incalcul-able
advantages of a free commerce.
Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot (statesman, 1727-1781)
The Turgot Collection (book)
Retaliatory tit for tat, after introductory shit or scat
To take off top the cream, or as snakes the schemes
Skulking in grass and brakes (fuck the serpentine)
Protectionism's false security however hidden rift
Reciprocation's mistaken parity thence nearing cliff
Such barmecidal aegis per non-empirical analysis
The causality dismissed as the simplicity remiss
Ah the imminent paralysis upon industries' limbs
Vulnerable skin festering, cyclical boils manifesting
Persistent hands and inventive plans preempted
Though exempted the matters of centralist hatters
Bathing fat in lather, per scathing rants by writers
Wrapped and metered by spinners and miters
Clouding cleverly the promulgated transparency
While dots disconnect, then reconnect, to redirect
From vile effects, so to swap the truth for agitprop
Veiling broken props, naming busts as liberty's rot
And booms as plots fraught with paternal polity
The latter, the pundit's misconceived successes
While the former, the people's interleaved messes
And few confess, none recess, yet insisting further
Concurring moreover for more market tethers
Fluffing feathers of public nests, so knowing best
On behalf of the rest, resisting the logical contest
