Contrary to Nature

     In his Cantos, Ezra Pound described usury as contra naturam, a sin against nature: 

     With ursura, sin against nature,
is thy bread ever more of stale rags
is thy bread dry as paper,
with no mountain wheat, no strong flour
Usura slayeth the child in the womb
It stayeth the young man's courting
It hath brought palsey to bed, lyeth
between the young bride and her bridegroom
CONTRA NATURAM
They have brought whores for Eleusis
Corpses are set to banquet
at behest of usura.  (Canto XLV)

     With Ezra Pound, we observe that usury is the cause, rather than the effect of that which "slays the child in the womb" (abortion), "stayeth the young man's courting" (penury) and "lyeth between the young bride and her bridegroom" (contraception).  The prime offenders are private banks, which are empowered to create money, or credit, out of nothing and ballooning debt by usury, the charging of interest on debt.
