We hope to make this world so clean that wingless fellows won't be seen; all wickedness will stop halo dealers will be found where now the sinners throng around the man who's selling pop. while and you will see how fine this sad an be, when purged by cleansing fires ns work out all right we'll all be wea white, and pawing golden lyres. for they are evil Just wait 1 world
