To
do is to be Half life (part II) by Stefan Lewis-Fish
|
Chairman Fish's Big Red Book
|
Joke's finally over, let's look to the future There're battles to be fought and rights to be won Or did you think that yesterday's heroes Left a comfortable world where the work's all been done? This half-life is the only half you've got So make certain you don't sell yourselves off cheap A whole life's much more expensive And you've got to start sowing before you can reap Another suffragette'll have suffered in vain If no-one picks up where she left off Don't expect people to stand up and applaud Reactionaries'll condemn, complain and scoff So, will you skulk about living your half-life Or are you half a person enough To show them your new clear brilliance Evoking memories of an old revolutionary's stuff? They're your cudgels now, it's your time on the frontline You're being called to account so make us all proud We're the past, you're the present, so shout to the future Let the world hear your message... Say it out loud! ©
