If the workers took a notion they could stop all speeding trains;
Every ship upon the ocean they can tie with mighty chains.
Every wheel in the creation, every mine and every mill;
Fleets and armies of the nation, will at their command stand still.

Joe Hill (October 7, 1879 – November 19, 1915)
labor activist, songwriter, and member of the Industrial Workers of the World (Wobblies)
