This poem is an entry in a writing contest *IA (artwork category).
What is a Labor job?
what is the job
about work?
“U” is missing
too long now.
Where is compassion left?
Peace and independence?
tied to the apron strings of
Mother Britain.
tied to the bootstraps
of thugs USA
together with Japan
Arming for peace.
indeed!
A few more wars
do we need?
We arrive without an invitation
shed the blood of our shodans
Fill the wallets
of greed.
What is Labor in Labor
When is it a partner in the faith of Capital?
We can do much better
come back and new.
Find the answers and
move the “u”
in the struggle
