L\u2019un s\u2019appelle C\u00e9sar, l\u2019autre se nomme Pierre.
\nCelui-l\u00e0 fait le guet, celui-ci la pri\u00e8re ;
\nTous deux sont embusqu\u00e9s au d\u00e9tour du chemin,
\nOnt au poing l\u2019escopette, et la s\u00e9bile en main,
\nVident les sacs d\u2019argent, partagent les maraudes,
\nEt l\u2019on r\u00e8gne, et l\u2019on fait payer les \u00e9meraudes
\nDes tiares \u00e0 ceux qui n\u2019ont pas de souliers.
\nLes dogmes et les lois sont de profonds halliers
\nO\u00f9 des tas de vieux droits divins m\u00ealent leurs branches ;
\nQui mendie en cette ombre a ses allures franches ;
\nNul n\u2019\u00e9chappe. Arr\u00eatez ! il faut payer, de gr\u00e9
\nOu de force, en passant dans le noir bois sacr\u00e9.
\nLes peuples, que l\u2019inf\u00e2me ignorance ravage,
\nOnt au front la sueur de l\u2019antique esclavage.
\nChrist, c\u2019est pour eux qu\u2019au pied de ta croix, tu prias !
\nIls sont les travailleurs ; ils sont les parias ;
\nIls sont les patients qu\u2019on tra\u00eene sur des claies.
\nCertes, rien ne leur manque ; ils ont beaucoup de plaies,
\nBeaucoup d\u2019infirmit\u00e9s qu\u2019ils ne peuvent gu\u00e9rir,
\nBeaucoup de maux, beaucoup de petits \u00e0 nourrir ;
\nC\u2019est \u00e0 ces riches-l\u00e0 que demandent l\u2019aum\u00f4ne
\nCe meurt-de-faim, l\u2019autel, et ce pauvre, le tr\u00f4ne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"annee":[443],"poems-book":[441],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[206],"class_list":["post-9407","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-443","poems-book-la-legende-des-siecles","poete-victor-hugo"],"yoast_head":"\n
