Poetry Translated Into Prose Shapes Public Outcry Over Useless Passion
The piece combines Ella Wheeler Wilcox style urban verse about a dangerous passion with a call for moral action and vigilante policing. It laments Western moral panic and urges public attention, pulpits, and organized response to perceived threats, while mixing in a literary anecdote about a Civil War era pass and Lincoln.
