[6]American Culture

A million tons of paper,
A million tons of ink;
A million reams of drivel—
One line for those who think.

Millions for maudlin movies;
Millions for ritual junk,
Millions for superstition,
Millions for Doctor Bunk.

Millions for marching morons,
Morons in caps and gowns;
Millions of Christian Soldiers,
Millions of hooded clowns.

Millions for pelf and carnage,
Millions for pomp and show;
Billions for world-war grafters,
Guff for the boob hero.

—H. W. Youmans.
