The Crying of the Hanged Man
Democracy will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.
They say the hanged man’s crying
But it is not so
Or only when a wind is blowing.
Without compromise there can be no justice
And without justice the people perish.
Without democracy there can be no peace,
No lasting harmony between the peoples of this earth.
The starving must know that they will not die in vain;
The soldiers and their victims, too, shall have their reward.
