And 1 cannot dream Of the things that were.
l can only think of the things that are,

Is the world the playtLing Of King?
Is life at last but useless thing?
And the answer to all Of this is No!
The Right Is right and the Wrong must go
The World Is t1an's and the King is naught
And Life is Gods great embodied Thought
And Men are many and Kings are few
And the world belongs me and you.
And the war will end when tho few are done
And the many stand a united ONE!
