Do you attend meetings and mingle with the flock, Or do you stay at home and criticize and knock? Do you take an active part to help the work along, Or are you just satisfied to only just belong? Do you do your part with your hand upon the stick, Or do you leave the work to others, and then talk about the clique? Think this over member, you know right from wrong. Are you an active member or DO YOU JUST BELONG? |
