    Labor Day

    A not so grunted aggression of oppression
    Has led the streets to the streets that are led.
    Lending a hand to the hands of rough edges,
    Systematically raging in pitchforked line-ups. 
    The workers of the world unite, a slogan never forgotten. 
    A day where all those breaking backs & twisting necks 
    Join together during the peak of the post-industrial age.
    The neglection of election to our powerful leaders
    Has risen from global hate, both past & present. 
    Unity within equity, dominance over fluidity, a 
    Dancing odor by the sweat of a man's brow.
    The difference between the workers & celebrities? 
    As we work, our deadlines are unknown, as they work, 
    Their deadlines are timed. 
    For we are rather working within time, 
    Instead of trying to be on time. 
    This is labor day.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
