    Billy, in one of his nice new sashes,
    Fell in the fire and was burnt to ashes;
    —Harry Graham (1874–1936)

Young men are sent out by the billion to die for profits.... We must destroy industrial slavery and build industrial democracy.... The people everywhere must come into possession of the earth [second, third, and fourth ellipses in source].
