PEACE QUATRAIN by BEULAH WINDLE SCALLIN

First Line: THE FLAUNTED CLOAK OF GLAMOR HIDES BARE BONES
Last Line: A DEMON-WORSHIP IS THE CULT OF MARS.
Subject(s): PEACE;

The flaunted cloak of glamor hides bare bones;
We lift the glory-mask of wars
And hideousness inspires not cheers but groans.
A demon-worship is the cult of Mars.
