Here is a poem I wrote after reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. All belongs to him, even in death, and I have found new awesomeness in his work. Please read and review!
Garrison of the Trust
Hopper, hopper, who name that machine?
That machine of horrid death
Grinding, grinding, the spoiled meat
Spoiled meat with all the rest
Dump it, dump it, it does not matter
Does not matter it hit the floor
Kill them, kill them, kill the rats
The rats now mixed with boar
Waste not, waste not, use it all
Use it even if spoiled
Work them, work them, drive them all
Drive foreigns and Negros to toil
Chem lab, chem lab, come quickly now
Come now, our sausage has turned white
Fix it, fix it, turn it brown
Brown as the sky at night
Chicago, Chicago, we give her life
Life everlasting starts here
Stockyards, stockyards, this is truly a Jungle
A Jungle made of tears
CHICAGO WILL BE OURS!
