The Gods of the Copybook Headings

The poem by Rudyard Kipling was written near the end of the first World War, a war which shattered the belief that fashionable thinking could prevent war and conflict. The Gods of the Marketplace that Kipling refers to are not Free Markets, but Government. This poem talks of the enduring nature of those old wise sayings, and the morals they instill that remain constant when all trends and fads of thinking have faltered.
