THE STRIKE
By Convington Hall
Say what ye will, ye owls of niglit, The strike upholds the cause of right; The strike compels the king to pause, The statesmen to remold the laws. Say what ye will, yet, without ruth, The strike drives home the bitter truth; The strike tears off the mask of things, To mass and class the issue brings. \ Say what ye will, the strike is good: It clears things long misunderstood: It jolts the social mind awake: It forces men a stand to take. Say what ye will, all else above, The strike is war for bread and love; For raiment, shelter, freedom, all The human race can justice call. The “ Voice of the People” (U.S.A.).
