A. P. Herbert - This Is Bushido

This is Bushido. These are they
Who show the West a nobler way.
Do you remember, long ago,
When earthquakes crumpled Tokyo?
We passed the plate, we filled our caps
With hard-won pennies for the Japs.

This is Bushido. This is how
Our children are rewarded now.
When God again afflicts Japan
Let her not look to mortal man;
And God bless those who mean to make
The whole of that vile island quake.
January 30, 1944
