Is the Revolution in sight?

Is the Revolution in sight?
looks like the barge may be lifting off a sand bar...

Langston Hughes' Poem "Put one more S in U.S.A"




Oh, the bankers they all are planning
For another great big war.
To make them rich from the workers' dead,
That's all that war is for.
So if you don't want to see bullets holding sway
Then come on, all you workers,
And join our fight today.

Put one more S in the U.S.A.
To make it Soviet.
One more S in the U.S.A.
Oh, we'll live to see it yet.
When the land belongs to the farmers
And the factories to the working men,
The U.S.A. when we take control
Will be the U.S.S.A. then.
But we can't join hands together
So long as whites are lynching black,
So black and white in one union fight
And get on the right track.
By Texas, or Georgia, or Alabama leg
Come together, fellow workers
Black and white can all be red:
Put one more S in U.S.A
