Are We Civilized? Page #4

---

culture and enlightenment gentlemen

thirty-three Nations turned all of man's

marvelous inventions into engines of

destruction

the loss of human life was unbelievable

millions were killed and more than 21

million wounded gassed and shell-shocked

it seems incredible that man could be

guilty of such a bit of his fellow man

such savage lust for slaughtered

millions gave them times believing they

were fighting a war to end war and when

the Armistice signed a war really world

went crazy with a joy we shall probably

never see again

following the great rejoicing after the.

Armistice became the fiendish perceived

of money money money the marriage of

competition and overproduction a

financial world blames an orgy of

speculation pilings pay for public upon

paper profit until an over strange

economic system could carry the burden

no longer collapsing beneath a mountain

of selfishness and greed and there

everywhere unrest everywhere humans

trying to find peace and happiness

trying to find it by placing the blame

with the ends of the world upon anyone

else but themselves we are all equally

to blame

we have misused the great gift of life

and life in its turn is misusing us we

are getting back just what we have given

out no more no less I ask you sixteen

years after the end of the so-called war

to end Wars does it look as though the

people of the earth have made a greater

faith or love in one another than they

had in the past centuries look about you

not a very pleasant or hopeful picture

is it hard the desire to promote peace

on earth

good will command days the peoples of

many nations are trembling of another.

Great War a war more terrible more

horrible more devastating than the last

conflict a war that threatens not alone

soldiers on battlefields but a war aimed

at the ruthless destruction of cities

and the merciless slaughter of innocent

humanity

what is all this leading to new

countries of the world prepare in this

manner if they really trust one another

can't humans realize that another great

war means suicide the absolute

destruction of everything that anyone

holds dear and worth why can't you men

see what such horrors are bleeding can't

you see what intolerance has done

throughout the ages now then is man

going to awaken in time or is it going

to take some great catastrophe to awaken

even if man doesn't destroy himself will

mother earth nauseated by man's ways

turn upon him the full wrath of her

elements fire storm tidal wave

earthquake just to remind men that he

isn't as mighty or his haughty as he

thinks

this isn't a dream gentlemen this is a

reality you are sowing the seeds for our

terrible harvest it is not a destroying

a few books it is the destroying of

something in here here perhaps even at

the eleventh hour it is not too late

perhaps mankind may yet save itself from

a cataclysm of the ages perhaps one day

humans will learn to truly love and

trust one another no this has gone far

very instructive by his philosophy but I
