Who live in that city—a loathsome crew.

It’s there that the stockyards reek with blood,

And the poor man dies, as he lives, in mud;

The Trusts are wealthy beyond compare,

And the bosses are all triumphant there,

And everything rushes without a skid

To be plunged in a hell which has lost its lid.

For a country where things like that are done

There’s just one remedy, only one,

A latter-day Upton Sinclairism
