A poem for the workers. Please copy, circulate and post
The revolution will not be yanquiized It will not believe God blessed America It will not be on a crusade to rid the world of evil It will not wave the bloody flag of US imperialism It will not compete with the fascists over who is more patriotic It will not be patriotic
The revolution will not be yanquiized It will not support the US troops who obey illegal orders It will not regard them as victims It will not regard them as working class brothers and sisters It will not mourn their deaths It will not flash pictures of them at peace rallies It will not grant them impunity from their war crimes It will not lobby Congress to get better armor, pay and conditions for them
The revolution will not be yanquiized It will not seek grant money from the government or big biz It will not be misled by poverty pimps, uncle toms, labor lords Democratic Party hacks or rich liberal opportunist scum It will not avoid debate It will not accept undemocratic methods It will not bow to prominent liberals and fake leftist intellectuals who tell us to vote for wealthy, skull and bones, opportunist, “Bush Lite”, imperialist war hawks.
The revolution will not be yanquiized It will not depend on the Internet It will not refuse to march in working class neighborhoods, especially those where people of color live It will not meet with the police in secrecy
The revolution will not be yanquiized It will not avoid uniting with working people around the world to overthrow the rich pigs and destroy their rotten system of exploitation, which creates misery for the vast majority of the human race and ruins the environment. It will not avoid confiscating the property that the rich pigs stole from Working people and redistributing it according to the needs of society instead of the greed of the rich pigs. It will not avoid taking over industry and controlling it in the interest of working people. It will not avoid using technology to build a sustainable society that respects the environment and the earth’s inhabitants. It will guarantee a home, a job, medical care, a secure retirement and decent living for all the world’s workers.
The revolution will not be yanquiized!

Good attempt at poetry. It makes it's point. Unfortunately, The Revolution will not be.
