Written shortly after a solidarity march Iraq Veterans Against the War held in Madison, Wisconsin on March 19, 2011 during the union occupation of the Wisconsin Capital and protests against proposed laws attacking worker rights.

Sings

Madison Wisconsin

March 19th spring crisp day

Ten thousand workers march with us

Ten thousand strong but alienated

The struggle divided

Singing

He sings for freedom

The crowed sings for the middle class

This is a war on the poor

But the slums are not here

But the working poor are not here

But the unemployed are not here

Singing

Another day

Another hour

We walk

Singing
