Saw their chance

To make millions making shells!

—Fall excells

In explaining all away

From this fray

Save the money coalitions

Of munitions-

Makers make—ghouls, full fed on

Armageddon!

So, of course, he now declares,

Our affairs

Have been run for us by schemers

Who sent steamers

Out, and U-boats out as well

raise Hell!

Wall Street knew if we came in

'Twould begin

To grow richer that much faster

From disaster.
