Show A BOLSHEVIST DREAM. "i f I sometimes think thafl 'would' like To be a Bolshevik; ! Reform at once by general strike The body politic, ': ( fl And start this old world on a hike J Of progress double-quick. j Slow legislation would give way Both sword and pen I'd bring in play All evils to erase. And of this bourgeois working-day I wouldn't' leave a tracc , No obstacle would make me pause In what 1 had to do; jH I'd place effects before their clause And make the world anew, Repeal all economic laws And laws of nature, too. But woe! Alas! My heart is. sick And this the truth that pains; I mny not wield the mighty stick; .No hope of it remains. I cannot he a Bolshevik For I was born with brains! , Frederick Amos Coates, New York Times. on |
