First Line: Bosses with hearts of stone
Last Line: Where does it end?
Subject(s): Jews;mysticism - Judaism;poverty; Judaism


bosses with hearts of stone
lived in distrust of
workers a poor working man
would drink a little whiskey
called him a drunkard
to his face
cheap whiskey was
their wine a golden goblet
is no cup
a working man's no master
in his house
o fatherer of worlds
where does it end?
