“Miss Bolshevik Has Come to Town” (1922) [a critical poem appearing in the War

“Miss Bolshevik Has Come to Town” (1922) [a critical poem appearing in the War Department publication “The Socialist. Pacifists Movement in America is an Absolutely Fundamental and Integral Part of International Socialism” ] Miss Bolshevik has come to town, With a Russian cap and a German gown, In women's clubs she's sure to be found, For she's come to disarm America. She uses the movie and the lyceum too, And alters text-books to suit her view, She prates propaganda from pulpit and pew, For she's bound to disarm America. She sits in judgment on Capitol Hill, And watches appropriation bills, And without her O. K. it passes--Nil, For she's there to disarm America. His special stunt is arousing the mob, To expropriate and hate and kill and rob, While she's working on her political job, AWAKE! AROUSE!! AMERICA!!! The male of the species has a different plan, He uses the bomb and firebrand, And incites class hatred wherever he can, While she's busy disarming America. [see page 25]
