When Alderman" learned of the
death Of the boy in an automobile ac-

ARE WE AWAkEI
Are we today then where two years
ago
We should have been, when all was
manifest!
Or are we still too credulous to
know
That we are to be measured with
the rest?
Are we awake-or are we seeing red
Because our freedom would have
done with war?
And must there be a million OF US
dead
Before we see that freedom is paid
Our fathers, VIXEN they were their
fathers boys,
Gave US what we have taken as
our breath.
And we, like children with too many
toys
Would have one more; and we
have played with death.
