Proletarians in fine Coats and Rings - Bruce V. Bracken's All-Purpose Poetry Thing


Dedicated to Elián González, who was kidnapped by the INS in an illegal raid on his Great-Uncle's home, and the peaceful
protesters that were beaten by Castro's thugs
.
BTW, sieg heil to you, too, Janet Reno!

How many starved
To pay for the rings
You took off to beat us?

How many children
Do you deny milk
To pay for your fine coats
That you took off to beat us?

O brutes! O thugs! O goons!
In fine coats and rings
Your shining reward
For proletarian struggle!

How many children
Did you blast from their mothers' arms?
For only counterrevolutionary
Dogs want to live like human beings!

O brutes! O thugs! O goons!
In fine coats and rings
Your shining reward
For drowning mothers and their babies!
