Newspeak(s)

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Sins of the Fathers

16 Die in Norway Shooting and Bombing
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/23/world/europe/23oslo.html

Young men and women
At camp for children of wealthy politicians
Run screaming into the water
Hiding under the wooden bridge
Shivering despite the harsh sun
The sins of the father shall be visited on the son 1,000 times
