ALL'S WELL
By Berton Braley
"AIl is wellp- the word is said
By the blind men to the blind,
And the Tory mods his head
Quite contented in his mind.
"All is. weH''- men starye and die
In the midst Of plenty's store,
Babies weep, and mothers cry,
Famine fingers at the door.
Children toll in roaring mills,
Robbed of all their hours of play,
Doing work that stunts and kills
"'All is well" the Tories cry.
Women take the wage of shame,
Driven by the scourge of want;
Still the slogan is the same,
"All is well p resounds the Vaunt.
Law is trampled under foot, 4
Right is sunken in the miFe
And the thug, the vicious brute,
Beats and slugs and kills-for hire.

Yet men murmur, "All is wellp'
