Unionize

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POEMICS


Unionize

 

Working in a warehouse

Big Brother on my back

Watching every move I make

Counting boxes in a stack

They warn us every day and night

Keeping us on track

It would not be prudent

And it would not be wise

It is not the time to unionize

 

But the workers in Long Island

Took the future in their hands

We won’t be fooled or frightened

It is time to take a stand

 

When workers stand together

There’s no limit to their power

The time has come to unionize

To the minute and the hour

 

(Note: Workers in Long Island

vote to unionize Amazon.)
