Pity the nation

An extract from a poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

(en-us)

Pity the nation that knows
No other language but its own
And no other culture but its own

(la) Ferlinghetti's words incited me to write these Latin iambic verses:

Dux civitatis, ipsius gentem suam
Solam qui extollit neglecto vanus modo,
Salutem populi temere non curat sui.
