WAR by EDITH MEDBERY FITCH

First Line: RELENTLESS MARS, INDULGING INSANE WRATH

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!
