Urban Poet

Come hear the lament
Of the working class

How our government
Has betrayed and
Sold us out

The big companies and
Other countries dictate
Policy to us

Rise up my brothers
And sisters against
This tyranny

Protest and march
For our workers’ rights

I am jailed in a foreign land
For a mistake made when
I was young and foolish

I am trapped between two lands
My own has forsaken me
Let me go I have served my time

In hell

©  Ceol

Under house arrest
For speaking out
Against corruption

Her voice silenced
Jailed against her will
The world speaks out

The old guard does not hear
