"That's Very THOUGHTFUL of You, Wilson --" : A Toasted Cheese Supper
"In This World, there is room for Everyone, and The Good Earth is RICH and can provide for, Everyone.
The Way of Life can be Free and Beautiful.....
But We Have Lost The Way --
GREED, has poisoned Men's Souls --
Has barricaded The World with Hate --
Has goose-stepped Us into Misery and Bloodshed.
We have developed Speed, but We have shut ourselves •IN•.
Machinery that gives Abundance has left us in-want.
Our Knowledge has made us CYNICAL;
Our Cleverness, HARD and UNKIND —
We THINK Too Much, and FEEL Too Little.
More than Machinery, We need Humanity;
More than Cleverness, We need Kindness and Gentleness.
Without these qualities,
Life would be Violent,
and All Would Be Lost.
The Aeroplane and The Radio have brought Us closer together —
The Very •Nature• of these inventions cries out for The Goodness in Men,
Cries out for Universal Brotherhood,
For The Unity of Us All.
