Black-massed and sullen, gaunt and lean . . .
Like thee they crave one thing to hate.
Be glad . . . and whet thy guillotine!



THE RED GUARD

Sons of the dawn! No more shall you enslave
Nor lull them with your honied lies to sleep,
Nor lead them on like herds of human sheep,
To hopeless slaughter for the loot you crave.
For now upon you, wave on mighty wave,
The iron-stern battalions rise and leap
To extirpate your breed and bury deep
And sow with salt the unlamented grave!

Accursed Monster -- nightmare of the years--
Pause but a moment ere you pass away!
Pause and behold the earth made clean and pure--
Our earth, that you have drenched with blood and tears--
Then greet the crimson usurer of Day,--
The mighty Proletarian Dictature!



THE RED FEAST

Go fight, you fools! Tear up the earth with strife
And spill each others guts upon the field;
