Rayfield Becker Papers
1919-1939
"[. . .]After the raid on our hall
I was one of the occupants
Of the ICE-BOX
And I had
An Iver Johnson .38!
That was how
I come to be HERE,--but I figure
The only practical Christians
TODAY
Are the I.W.W.'s
And the Socialists,
And the folks
That are trying to get
A NEW WORLD!
Anyway,
Christ was a TRAMP
Without a place
To 'lay his head,'
And WE are tramps,
And I guess
That fifth chapter
Of the epistle of James,
Telling the RICH FOLKS
To weep and howl
For what was COMING,
Must have been written
By a WOBBLY!"
