“OUR TIME ...” 27 Oct 97

Each summer we believe
the little things that bring us down
and insult our dignity
we will break free,

a pocket full of bronze
not enough for the train or the bus
a blocked sink, a bad shave,
all these things will be history

always next year
so this autumn we perservere
with the insults of poverty
because there is a better world

and our time will come.
