The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, 1939

Recruiting Office, 1939
Now, in this hour war is here.
Fate stamps triumphant in and brings
Impassioned toxicants of hate and fear.
While Man, ordered to slaughter, sings
His brief bravado song and dies,
By plausible cause and faith unreasoned swayed.
So, sapped with shibboleths and lies
Another visioned world-state rots half-made.
