The Syndicalist


The fervent wish of workers all
to be invited to the gifted ball
no longer powerless and small
and see the greedy warden fall

Utopian in fair pursuit
Thomas Moor’s firm ripened fruit
denying plunder’s riotous loot
a humanist in royal suit

Bridging or creating schism
defending dying capitalism
by seeking social catechism
revising past failed syndicalism

  1. Syndicalist! Well, I saw the word when reading Stieg Larsson's 'The Girl With The Dragon Tatto'. I had now idea what it meant so I looked it up on Wikipedia.
