Treated unkindly,
bruised and beaten,
the farmworker's dignity
was rudely eaten
"Obstacles [in the filed] couldnot be overcome"
No one would listen
ran over the strike
a desprete calling
for something they allwould like
turned high to a boycott
the workers sought
someone
anyone
get what the farmwokers like
"Helpthe farmworkers by not buying grapes!"
refusing to listen
refusing to heed
the growers saw
right through the farmworkers need
"They cut the pay rates"
Violence was talked of
much to Chavez's dismay
it seemed to him
like a fast was the only way
"Chavez placed the hardest demands on himself than others"
The year of 1968
"he fasted (the first of many) to
recommit the movement of nonviolence"
the fast worked well
and slowed the farmworkers hate
it all paid off
and they won
worth all the work they've done
"Chavez thought the end of his strike wouldnot be in his lifetime"
No more working unfairly,
no more of a mime!!!!
