These are the ones, the poor, the laboring unaffected
unsophisticated salt of the earth agonized ones
These are the people, Ma Joad's people, the blues
singer's people, the backwoods & back alley ones
The ones who put one foot out at a time
one day at a time & go on & on & on
These Are the Ones, Andy Clausen, in The Blue Collar Review. Click here to read the whole poem.
