FORCE AND FEAR.
Force deals with fear, and force and fear Build nothing very lasting here. Their harriers 6tand while shot and shell, Are large enough tn guard them well, But when appears a stronger foe, The game is up, and down they go! The thoughts of force and fear are bent, On soldiery and armament. And brutal training to instill In little boys the wish to kill. For force that would outlast the year, M u.st propagate both force and fear. Force puts up monuments to hate, And statues of her soldier-great; It glorifies its hero dead. Tint leaves the living short of bread, And since by fear its power is made, Force is of greater force afraid.
