THE SOCIAL UNREST.
By Lucian B. Watkins

BY LuClan Watkins
There Is no peace. The darky troubled Night
Seems poent of storm. Some broocing sin
Seems threatening where pcaces hope has been
There no peace Mad men have had their fight
Have doomed their hate-hled tragedies of might
And died amid the scarlet doom and din
There is peace-while nations war to win
Their selfish aims, each in the name of Right.
Behold the Hand is writing on the wall
The old warning in the words but few:
weighed and found wantng!" All, the King must fall-
That Mammon-G God appraised by Satans crew!
This the travail Truth will be the Morn,-
This great Iconocast is being born.
