"AMY GOODMAN: And why didn’t he believe in World War I?
"ERNIE HARBURG: Because [#YipHarburg] was a full, deep-dyed #socialist who did not believe that #capitalism was the answer to the human community and that indeed it was the destruction of the human spirit. And he would not fight its wars. And at that time, the socialists and the lefties, as they were called, Bolsheviks and everything else, were against the war."
Here's another. Atheist poetry by Yip Harburg
ATHEIST
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree;
And only God who makes the tree
Also makes the fools like me.
But only fools like me, you see,
Can make a God, who makes a tree.

MIRACLE

In all the magic hat tricks,
But how did Mary’s manger
Turn into the posh St. Patrick’s?
MUTUAL ADMIRATION
“Speaking of the Common Man,” said Lincoln,
“God must love him.”
And the Common Man, he must love God–
He made so many of Him.
