WHY JtJTHlS?
When the land 1b fall of workers,
Busy hands and active brains.
When the craftsmen and the thinkers
Feel about them binding chains:
When the laborer Is cheated
Of the work his hands have wrought,
And the thinker, vain of logic,
Sets that reason comes to naught;
When the forces men have harnessed
And have trained to do their will,
Onght to leave no homeless people
And no hungry mouths to fill,
Have but proved themsel rets the servant
Of the shrewd and solflsh few.
And the many have but little
For the work they find to do;
When th* labor of a million
Goes to swell the gains of one,
As the serfs of ancfent Egypt
Ptarved beneath a burning sun;
When the scheemmr and the sharper,
>'•' Hold the wealth and rule the land.
Using up the thinkers b ain force,
Morgaglng the eraftmau's hand;
Wher the many shear the sheep,
And the few secure the wool.
And the gallows claims its victims,
And your costly jails are full;—
Then the men who dreamed of progress
And had hopes of pe*se and bliss,
While they weep and wonder vainly,
Ask each other. "Why is this?'1
Then the thinker, while confessing
That his vision yet Is dim,
Says that one thing, very clearly,
Is apparent unto him,
That the people, blind, or heedless,
Place Tbb>ubi.vbs beneath the rale,
Of the fiendish knave, or.
Worse, perhaps, the sodden fool.
