TRIUMPHAL MARCH by THOMAS MCGRATH

First Line: AFTER THE LONG STRIKE
Last Line: What did it matter we'd lost?
Subject(s): LABOR & LABORERS; LABOR UNIONS; STRENGTH; STRIKES; WORK; WORKERS; LABOR DISPUTES; LOCKOUTS;

After the long strike
We continued walking in circles
For a long time: dreaming:
Many nights many days
Dizzy (but not with success)
From the round dance of our struggle!

O Solidarity!
What did it matter we'd lost?
