On the 25th of January the life and writings of Robert Burns (1759 - 1796) are celebrated with a ceremonial dinner along with recitals of his work accompanied by a good whisky. Famous for having penned “Auld Lang Syne” he was a very prolific writer who covered a wide range of themes.
In the poem “A Man’s a Man For A’ That” (see below) he expresses contempt for inherited wealth with the power and authority that accompanies it while celebrating the integrity of the poor.
As relevant today as in the times Burns was writing, do you think that wealth with it’s patronage of power and authority are credible (thttps://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poet/robert-burns/hink royalty, billionaires and their lobbyists)?
