emancipation

we've heard the anguished ones daily appeal
nothing could ever be so clear or plain
we must at once restore the common weal

the harshest orders are not under seal
nor are our hopes so easy to attain
we've heard the anguished ones daily appeal

the slowest waggon moves on tyres of steel
the ones that pull it truly feel the strain
we must at once restore the common weal

hot and exhausted all the workers reel
they're not revived by hope of cool or rain
we've heard the anguished ones daily appeal

there's no time for harangue or lying spiel
only the swift may hope to catch the train
we must at once restore the common weal

who will not hear will surely have to feel
all the frustration and the searing pain
we've heard the anguished ones daily appeal
we must at once restore the common weal

(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
