e.e. cummings - red-rag and pink-flag... (11)

red-rag and pink-flag
blackshirt and brown
strut-mince and stink-brag
have all come to town

some like it shot
and some like it hung
and some like it in the twot
nine months young

...isn't it an allusion to the rape, murder and torture of Fascism...rampant in Italy and Europe in the time of Cummings...
