Still send from underground against your blades
The roots of things battalions green and curled
And tender, that will match your blades with blades
Till the revolted throats shall strangle on.

Crankshafts like camels, and the sun go down
On dinosaurs in swamps. A night attack
Follows and by the time the Sabbath dawns
All armored beasts are eaten by their lawns.

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this

though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out,
rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty,
disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can
assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?

would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which
we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light
the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the
freedom of man.
