EVILS or CIVILIZATION.
We curse the man with money.
Whoever he may be;
We scOff at him who labOrs
For n0tOriety;
We hold the love Of lucre
TO be the base Of all
To evils that have fiourished
Since Father Adams fall
We roar against the upstart
Who seeks the worlds acclaim,
Who changes maps and methods
For splcndor and for fame.
n no one cared for money
And no one cared TO hoard,
II no one with ambition
Took up the cleaning sword,
Existence would be peaceful
Here In this world no doubt;
We'd lock no doors behind us
Whenever we went out
We'd lie around cOntented
And covered DER with flies,
n no one cared for money
And no one sought TO rise.

boys have before they go into the in
