A Stumpt Savage
By Covington Hall
From Green Anarchy #10


"Your 'right to work'?" the savage said
Your 'right to earn' your daily bread?
Why, man alive, what do you mean?
Have you got bugs, friend, in your bean?
Your 'right to work'! Ain't there the Earth
She feeds us all from our day of birth
You 'don't own it'? Well, you don't say!
And how did you get that away?
Your 'constitution' and your 'law'?
Well I'll be jiggered! Haw! Haw Haw!
'Civilization'?excuse my smirk
It steals your bread? your 'right to work'?
And turns you loose upon the Earth
More helpless than you were at birth?
And you stand for it? Well, I'll say!
What is 'Civilization,' anyway?
