THE BEAST WITH , A INFERRED ARM

 Aloft in the breezes unfurled And I viewed them all with affrontery
 As I sat on the top of the world Don't be so impatient, o mortal,
 Said the voice of prophet to me, For America will open a portal
 That all may come in and be free But the blood of our best, of our
 young men,
 will fill the mSw of this beast Who is only in likeness of human Can you tell me when it will cease' Go look on page in the Bible And you'll find no cause for alarm. For it says he'll fight long in the
 This beast with withered arm. This beast with unsuitable ambition
 Who wished his seven heads (seven children) to adorn {, Will fail in his dreams and his visions, This beast with withered arm. And I asked wherefore this bloodshed?
 When the world was freighted with peace
 And our ships sailed OCT the ocean's
 In commerce only. from west to east.
 And behold great beast in his mad
 ness \ Came with fire and poisonous cloud And he said. This world will know
 sadness
 And he spoke of it long and loud Unless, all admit I'm appointed
 I'll bring the whole world to harm, To be Gods especially anointed swore the beast with the withered arm. You shall all know humiliation, From high positions. be thrown; |lAnd by the same devilish equation, \ I'll take all the world for my own. Then Uncle Sam came, wrapped in "Oid sGlory." At the beast. in great wrath he hurled The words. God does not intend any one country or man To rule over all the world. Then he said to his people, have pa S9 tience. Draw your swords and all follow me For I'll see that beast in damnation
 Before he shall sink all the ships on X the sea. 4 So come allaye sons of democracy From over the face of the earth. E And in rurging the world of hypocrisy We'll get rid of the Kaiser first.
