She is like a cat in the dark And then she is the darkness She rules her life like a fine skylark And when the sky is starless All your life you've never seen a woman Taken by the wind Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win?

I think that poets can say, "What we want is for everybody on earth to wake up free from fear and with access to medicine and clean water and education. " But I don't think poets have any special insight on how to get there.

They glorified some of the most violent and grotesque dictatorships of the 20th century. And a lot of the ones who were not Stalinists were fascists or fascist sympathizers.
