MARXISM AND ETHICS
(Wilshire's Magazine, November, 1905).
What are "wrong," "right," "vice," "virtue," "bad" and "good"?
Mere whips to scourge the backs that naked bear
The burden of the world—bent backs that dare
Not rise erect, defy the tyrant, "Should,"
And freely, boldly do the things they would.
In living's joy they rarely have a share;
They look beyond the grave, and hope that there
They'll be repaid, poor fools, for being good.
