What's the point of fighting the dollars when all you need is a warm bed? when the dog barks you let him in. all we need is someone to let us in. and one other thing: to consider the lilies in the field.

Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been to much babied. while he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. they are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—society, the state, the government, the commune—must give it to them. let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.
Fighting Men Space
All i want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air. with one enormous chair; oh wouldn't it be loverly? lots of choc'late for me to eat; lots of coal makin' lots of heat. warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet, oh wouldn't it be loverly? oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still! i would never budge 'til spring crept over my window sill. someone's head restin' on my knee; warm and tender as he can be, who takes good care of me; oh wouldn't it be loverly? loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.
