Shaw affirmed that for the sake of ‘Art for art’s sake’ he won’t write a single line. But to criticize Sjhaw as a propagandist would be an error of perspective.

Hinder, prevent this Or grant a time When there is sweet spring When our earth turns into a little paradise. Nuclear weapons seduce dictators and fascists The righteous are punished for speaking the truth The eternal moral values no more exist The wicked are cowards. They murder and are invisible. The Almighty Lord will reincarnate Universal brotherhood will be restored Black clouds of terror and bloodshed vanish If we hear God s...
