The People—you may shriek in vain—
Protest, rebel, beseech, complain—
The People do not care!
Each man and woman feels the weight
Of their own private share;
But for the suffering of the state,
That falls on all men soon or late,
The People do not care!
IF A MAN MAY NOT EAT NEITHER CAN HE WORK.
How can he work? He never has been taught
