  6. Before Disaster by Yvor Winters Evening traffic homeward burnsSwift and even on the turns,Drifting weight in triple rows,Fixed relation and repose.This one edges out and by,Inch by inch with steady eye.But should error be increased,Mass and moment are released;Matter loosens, flooding blind,Levels drivers to its kind.Ranks of nations thus descend,Watchful, to a stormy end.By a moment's calm beguiled,I have got a wife and child.Fool and scoundrel guide the State.Peace is whore to Greed and Hate. Nowhere may I turn to flee:Action is security.Treading change with savage heel,We must live or die by steel.
