Peace and Justice Post

by Badri Raina, May 1, 2011

May Day is here again,

and Capital is on the wane.

Capitalist treason

flounders in the face of reason.

Our faith in struggle must never end;

our task to build

a new world

for every woman, man, and child

must never lend

the least legitimacy

to crude cunning or chicanery.

Shoulder to the wheel,

we must never fail to share and feel

the pain of oppression;

our job is not done

till we arm justice enough to deal

Capital a mortal body blow,

the sickle must continue

to chop the weeded garden,

and the hoe

must dig till the seed of common love

we sow,

covering the earth from delhi to timbucktoo.
