BERTON BRALEY,
"The best of all possible worlds ? It's not!" That way of talking is utter rot.
This world is hardly the least degree The sort of a world that it ought to be. It's full of selfishness, greed and strife.
A sort of jungle of seething lifo., Of heedless cruelty, needless pain, Whore millions struggle and toil in vain.
+
But that's no reason to sit and mope Bereft of courage and robbed of hope ! For when its history we rehearse
We learn of old that the world was worse.. And we also know, if we are not blind, It's getting better, more sane and kind: Sc, using that as a starting place, We plan for progress and hope for grace.

From liking matters the way they are He sees conditions, he knows the facts, But he thinks and figures and talks and acts With the full belief that "the world do move," That men and women in time improve, And that, though prospects at whiles seem glum, "The best of all possible worlds" will come!
