   Now, tell me, rhymer, if you can
   How am I inferior to base man.
   Oh! no, I saw man's perfidy and pride
   I saw him when his Master he denied
   And now I see him in the present age,
   Led on by malise, bigotry and rage.
   Christ said to Peter "Everyone's your brother,"
   And then He said "Dear brethern love each other"
   Where is that love or does it now exist?
   Oh, no, it vanished like a fleeting mist.
   Now deadly hatred and malignant spite
   In the recesses of man's heart unite.
   Sure, hell ne'er such cruelty displayed
   As the nefarious, base crowbar brigade.
   And were I anxious to express my thoughts
   I could mention countless crimes and faults
   All ascribed to vain, presuming man
   Since he, on earth his first career began.
   And I'll maintain man is himself the cause
   Of violating great Jehova's laws.
   And then when drenched in wilful guilt and shame
   He paliates and foists one me the blame.
   But a day will come, sad surprising day
   When the last whistle we must all obey.
   That awful day you may behold and see
   Knaves and tyrants on a par with me.
