THE CENSOR
By B. F. Jennesa


Whether in a nations crisis.
Or in life. we would surmouut
The difficulties-spar advices-
It's the deeds. not words. that count
When the war clouds start TO gather.
And the talk OF strife begins,
II is not the thing we'd rather
DO, but what we should. that wins
When there's trouble on the border.
And preparedness" fills the air.
II is silence. law and order.
That are wanted most down there 2
II your patriotic fervor
kindles fires you can't resist.
Cease to be a calm observer
on the side lines-and enlist.
But don't criticize the helmsmen
OF our gallant ship OF state.
II a storm OF doubt o'erwhelms, then
stand by the craft-and wait
II you think her course unsteady
Fear she'll never reach the land.
Don Z megaphOne your vieWs-gst read
Clear for actiOni Lend a hand.
II your country's nag is trailing
In an lgnominious dust,
Don't let duty find you falling,
Die, TO raise tiff you must
But when paths OF peace you're waIlin
Keep the censorship on tight
For the man who does the talking
seldom IS the man-to fight
