Bread and Roses

As we go marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill lofts grey
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing
Bread and roses, bread and roses
As we go marching, marching
We battle too for men
For they are women s children
And we mother them again
Our lives shall not be sweetened
From birth until life closes
Hearts starve as well as bodies
Give us bread, but give us roses
As we go marching, marching
We bring the greater days
For the rising of the women
Means the rising of the race
No more the drudge and idler
Ten that toil where one reposes
But the sharing of life s glories
Bread and roses, bread and roses
Words by James Oppenheim (1912), music by John Denver

There was a time when I was training unions (1985) when neoliberalism was dominating government policy. They took away our social security and our ability to resist. No more independent labor movement, only "yellow" unions at the service of the State.
But this song, which was like a hymn for us, the working class, will resurface when we fight again for Social Freedom
