WAR, by

Subject(s): Child Molesting; Cruelty; Death; Insanity; War; Women Immigrants - United States; Child Abuse; Dead, The; Madness; Mental Illness


Relentless Mars, indulging insane wrath,
Trampling on babes and mothers in his path,
Unbridled all the Passions of the world
And o'er the host, the flag of Death unfurled;
Then, to astound with deeds the pure abhor,
Unleashed the Lusts of men, and called it—WAR!
