* Anonymous poem, ''What is a Boy?''[sic] (1944)
:He is a person who is going to carry on what you have started.
:He is to sit right where you are sitting and attend when you are gone to those things you think are so important.
:You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they will be carried out depends on him.
:Even if you make leagues and treaties, he will have to manage them.
:He is going to sit at your desk in the Senate, and occupy your place on the Supreme Bench.
:He will assume control of your cities, states and nations.
:He is going to move in and take over your prisons, churches, schools, universities and corporations.
:All your work is going to be judged and praised or condemned by him.
:Your reputation and your future are in his hands.
:All you work is for him, and the fate of the nations and of humanity is in his hands.
:So it might be well to pay him some attention.
