As I end here for today, I leave you with a quote by Senator Joseph Biden, a poem by Amy E. Murphy, and a song by Russell Knight.
“Silence never won rights. They are not handed down from above; they are forced by pressures from below.” – Senator Joseph Biden.
You Can Never Return
By: Amy E. Murphy.
Are thoughts and dreams,
Mere rusty keys,
To a locked door?
I search the dusty corners of my mind,
For a faded memory,
Which I attempt to grasp.
But my desperate effort fails
The door stays locked,
My rusty key has failed.
We Need You Most Of All
By: Russell Knight.
The time has come for our freedom,
We must stand up and fight,
The strike is on, boys, girls stick to it,
And we will win out all right.
Let’s keep the darn mill standing,
No matter what they all say,
Then we will soon see a-dawning,
For us, a brand new day.
We must look to our Union then,
Stick with it through thick and thin,
Then you will hear the boss let out a cry,
“If you don’t give in I’m going to die.”
So just be patient with Pershing and Beal,
Until old Baugh lets out his squeal,
“Please come back, we’ll reorganize you,”
As the Union through and through.
So the Union we send our call,
For we need you most of all.
