Muren må vara nere, men kampen fortsätter!

I denna fortsättningsartikel uppmärksammar vi en annan Reed, den Röde Elvis, Dean Reed, som hoppade av till friheten i den Tyska Demokratiska Republiken.

Ni har vapnen,
som skyddar era rikedomar,
Ni har pressen,
som ljuger åt er,
Ni har bankerna,
som spelar spel åt er,
Ni har kedjorna,
som ni för alltid vill förslava oss vid.

Om en dör,
kommer tio för att lära sanningen,
Om tio dör,
kommer ett tusen för att slåss till slutet!






Vilket för oss in på poeten och organisatören Joe Hill, gävlebon Joseph Hillström som sköts ihjäl av kapitalistklassens lakejer i Salt Lake City 1915.




"My will is easy to decide,
for there is nothing to divide.
My kin don't need to fuss and moan --
"Moss does not cling to rolling stone".

My body? Ah, If I would choose,
I would to ashes it reduce,
and let the merry breezes blow
my dust to where some flowers grow.

Perhaps some fading flower then
would come to life and bloom again.
This is my last and final will.
Good luck to all of you,
"

Joe Hill

WORKERS OF THE WORLD, AWAKEN

"Workers of the world, awaken!
Break your chains, demand your rights.
All the wealth you make is taken
By exploiting parasites.
Shall you kneel in deep submission
From your cradles to your graves?
Is the height of your ambition
To be good and willing slaves?

/.../

If the workers take a notion,
They can stop all speeding trains;
Every ship upon the ocean
They can tie with mighty chains.
Every wheel in the creation,
Every mine and every mill,
Fleets and armies of the nation,
Will at their command stand still.

/.../

Workers of the world, awaken!
Rise in all your splendid might;
Take the wealth that you are making,
It belongs to you by right.
No one will for bread be crying,
We'll have freedom, love and health.
When the grand red flag is flying
In the Workers' Commonwealth."
