MAY FIRST
It’s May 1st. Workers of the World
unite. Carpenters, farmers, nurses,
plumbers, mechanics, sales people,
celebrate one’s work - one’s service - one's
need to earn enough for our daily bread.
It’s May 1st. The silver bright plow
like a silver scissors slices the
dark brown ground. The farmer
is getting the earth ready for a
new planting, a
new season of
wheat. It’s been raining - slightly
on and off - the sun is peeking
through the clouds, making all
this a bit easier in this struggle
to make one’s livelihood.
It’s May 1st. Workers of the World
unite. Work for good jobs, fair wages,
for families, babies, good schools, good
health benefits, a healthy environment,
so all can have and enjoy their daily bread.
