If Not Now – When?
A majority
might wake tomorrow
And declare,
‘We now know the solution
To our major
problems, revolution!’
And by
revolution we also know
It’s
democracy, not insurrection,
As
barricades and bullets do little good,
While
progress wallows and drowns in blood.
If success
be measured through election
Socialism
may seem long deferred. Still,
How many
centuries did capital wait
Before
finally coming to dominate?
There’s no
hurrying the collective will.
So, the
unsettled question it appears,
Is it
tomorrow, or five hundred years?
D. A.
