"Look, are we serious? Are we a movement or a club?
Are we talking about action or. . . or have we been lulled
into a standing sleep? These words are deep.
They should speak to your guts and move your feet!
Did Trotsky march? Did Lenin speak, or just stay home and smoke weed?
If you've ever turned your fist out,
it's time to prove you've got the grout.
Do your pieces fit together?
Are you an ice-pick or a hammer?
Don't tell me you're afraid of prison!
Of free meals and hard living?
Isn't that the thing that we're arguing for?
I promise worse than that and much more
before we're through here. Let me be clear,
I intend to inspire fear. When they're afraid,
they get angry. When they're angry, you get dirty.
Some of us are going to end up in cages.
They're going to confiscate your shoelaces.
We're not citizens. We're vermin.
They've got weapons. They're going to use them.
