"When we know our day is coming then their night is almost gone"


Poem Artwork


Labor Day 2011
solidarity forever


Fearing us holding us down and back by body or by soul
At war on the poor by propaganda and starvation
What conservatives seem to seek to conserve is their control

They know our day is coming of righteous indignation
And realizing how we rise they hate us all the more
To see the dignity of those with dreams worth fighting for

As echoes in their echo chambers having had their say
Their fearful day our night they fear but may not disallow
The now and realize we rise to sweep them all away

When we rise then and surprise them when the ones they sat upon
The shat upon start standing up to be counted as free
When we know our day is coming then their night is almost gone

The night is long with all the wrong that wounds us from the right
But we are left the stronger for it rising toward the light
