•f
There’s but one God in all o f Space!
The Armies of the World shall prove
That Fear removed from Mind, leaves place
For nothing but the God of Love.
The Armies of the World have learned
That every fight is simply crime
To hide grave crimes, such aa are spurned
By MEN OF HONOR thru all time.
And as the Armies gather fast,
In Mexico, to fight—for what?
From ’round the World there comes at last
The thot words: Comrades! struggle not!
Those foreign flags all sim ply hold
The rights o f property supreme;
Cease cowardice—be m anly—bold!
While hearts respond to Love!—God’s them e.
Your officers are only slaves,
In great degree you make them act;
But everywhere the red flag waves,
God’s bond of Love becomes a fact!
So call a meeting. Act! En-masse
And put “this question” up for vote:
Having cringing cowards right to pass
In judgm ent on what flag shall float?
