A Call to the Proletariat
April 11, 2010
Proletariat,
To you I call, loud and vaunting, fain my lungs suffice,
I call to you most remote, you most chaste, you most obscure,
Above the Rockies and to the Ganges i sound my call,
Across the Chihuahuan and across the Sahara.
To you i call, the worker,
The Hammer,
The Sickle.
Yet the same i call to the shovel, the reaper, the democrat-load, the mower,
The Jenny, and the mill wherein you repose.
To you I call, but wish you not call back.
I ask but a paean of the multitude,
Your March,
Shaking Heaven and Earth,
Is reply enough.
Proletariat.
