Gods of the Copybook Headings

Just wondering what the people here think of Kipling's “Gods of the Copybook Headings”? The last quatrain seems quite relevant… And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!


Just wondering what the people here think of Kipling's “Gods of the Copybook Headings”?

The last quatrain seems quite relevant…

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins

When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,

As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,

The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
