One Of Them!

student protesters
close down Wall Street....
peaceful waves lapping

at the shore....
but the storm is coming;
students give way to workers,

workers without food,
without housing or medical care,
workers without hope....

angry workers,
and they damn sure
ought to be...

i know, i'm one of them!
