Yes,
you are damn right it is!
May
Day falls on April 29th,
on
January 1st and December 31st
and
everyday between,
it
is the day they built the Taj Mahal
from
scratch to polish
the
pyramids and minarets
stupas
and tanks
the
nuclear reactor
and
the multi-barrel gun
stretching
from first stitch
to
after-sales service
and
disbursement of insurance
the
picking of pockets
ravaging
of heart
breaking
of bones
and
the celebration
of
labour
with
courtesy and redness
no
apology
none
given,
none
asked.
When people have money
ReplyDeleteEvery day is a Christmas Day
When they don't have money
It is the day, Jesus
was crucified
When the workers
are less paid
or exploited
They walk
on the streets
with RED BANNERS
The observant say
it is a May Day
When the same worker
becomes an employer
Then it is just
another DAY
with ZERO income
MAY DAY is RED
now
because the banners are RED
but
not the leaders
Yes, only the WORKER
