sing a hymn to the defense of law and property. If people would not die for it, it would have no meaning what ever. Sing dear Droogies of the death that lets property live. Lives longed for not songed for distilled into vapors and ethers profound in their power to give mere matter- life. For this Automaton we die. For this Automaton we surrender all life, and do not cry as we die, for we whisper: It's alive. Look to these monsters and machines for they hold our souls in their well being.
