    ECONOMIC JUSTICE. NOW! (A Poem by Alice Connally Fisk)

    ECONOMIC JUSTICE.   NOW!

     

    U. S. poverty must Go

     a conscientious overthrow.

    Resolution now the call

    a living wage for one and all.

    Our long-time shafted people roar

    We Just Won’t Take It Anymore.

    The working poor, the down and out

     a risen people packing clout.

    The fairness movement leads the way

    People power here to stay.

    The middle-class profoundly score

    inequity shall rule no more.

    Righting long wrongs one by one

    disparity at last undone.

    Our fed-up people fiercely vow

    Economic Justice.  Now!

    Great song.

    Can it be adapted to be sung to the tune of America the Beautiful?
