A MADMAN'S HOLIDAY.
The cry for peace from hearts that bleed Goes up in every land. The poor want broad, the rich for greed Put rifles in their hand; Crops grow, but taxes on them fall To feed an idle clas3. But one thing waxes more and more, The hunger of tho mass.. Still gape the governments for gold To pay for shot and shell; The poor for this are bought and sold, The rich men buy and sell; And statesmen pose as great and wise, Tho rest for them hooray— They make a soldier's paradise— A madman's holiday.
