The Human Ostrich
If it were not so ghastly and hideous
it would be amusing to note how vice
and sin and crime operate in this city
Men and women break the laws of God
and man here every day and go on their
way as though they felt and thought no
one knew of their crimes and vices and
sins These law breakers deport them
selves even as though they knew no one
in this city cared Crime carries its
mark no less conspicuous than does
virtue Like the stupid ostrich these
violators of law hide their faces in the
sand all unmindful and heedless of tha
hideousness of the uncovered part of
their anatony
