it cannot bo uplifted in your behalf,
it has ears but it will hear you not.
it has voice but the voice has been
hushed, it has eyes but the eyes will
not penetrate across the line of any
sovereign State, it has understanding
but not for your cause, it has regard
for the rights of the citizens of the
United States, but that citizenship
must not be clothed in a black skin.
Every act of this idol of ours empha-
sizes threadworn dogma of anti bel

can eagle spreads it's wings and the
stars and stripes are hoisted in power
and might, the land covered by the
two, is the home, country and govern
