A.D. 1940
" Move upward, working out the best And let the Ape and Tiger die" Back to the primal caveTo the reign of jungle law, When the only right was brutish might And the power of fang and claw. Back to abysmal nightTo the savage cult of force, And the vicious creed of hate and greed That mars man’s upward course. Back to the despot age _- When the world was ruled by fear, Now, Tiger and Ape take modern shape, Disguised by a new veneer. The "Prince of Peace" looks down Upon war and woe world-wide, And the evil made by truth betrayedAnd again is crucified.
