SOMETHING IS WRONG.
•Something is wrong with life. It wants more peace. More sympathy, mere love, more pleasant vray?. Can these things be our own when all the days Are grey with poverty and crime’s increase? Oh. brothers, can ye not learn to be just? Are ye content with what ye have, when, see! The children that Christ loved are bom to be Shackled by avarice, cruelty, and lost? The Earth ii God’s, and it doth so abide: Man’s greed begets naught but sotfl-suic-ide. Can ye tall that which God hath lent—your own? But think —some day before the great white throne Toil may hear voices calling down the wind; —Man’s only wealth is love of humankind! ” —Gertrude Colies (New York paper).
