AXISINATED
Some words arc old as Adam Others are very new, We have terms for household Gods And household devils too Hitler the Nazi Nabob Knows not where to put his head To avoid the sword of justicc That is hanging by a thread. Then there is Mussolini Whose face is falling in Too impoverished they say To raise a two-cent grin. Franco the self-termed patriot The tool of. Axis guile Keeps thousands of his. countrymcn Starving in durance vile The Japs have Japanated Themselves for ever black Their fond dreams of expansion Have proved a cruel rack That has made their warlike sinews Painfully strain and crack. Russia so long down-troddcii The despised Soviet stone Is marching on to freedom With a brilliance all her own Thus love, for truth and justicc Where 'ere they are oppressed Will burn beneath the surface And find no place to rest Until the cruel pressure Is lifted, finally And sighs of slavery exchanged For songs of liberty. H. SERGANT.
