Susi: Ab major
Verse 1
a colonised Jewish man.
His father, the village carpenter,
worked wood in his occupied
land.
He was apprenticed to his father's trade,
and his country paid its dues.
To the colonial Roman conquerors,
he was a working class Jew.
Though conceived three months out of wedlock,
the stigma never stuck.
He began a three -year public life,
but he never made a buck.
Because he spoke out against injustice,
saw that capitalism bled the poor.
He attacked self -righteous hypocrites
and he condemned the lawyer's law.
But they've commercialised his birthday now,
the very people he defied,
and they've sanctified their system
and claim he's on their side.
But if he appeared tomorrow,
he'd still pay the highest cost.
Being a radical agitator,
they'd still nail him to a cross.
C
G
You see, he'd stand with the downtrodden masses,
identify with the weak and oppressed.
He'd condemn the
hypocrites in church pews
and the affluent arrogant West.
He'd oppose Stalinist totalitarianism,
the exploitation of millions by one,
and peace through mutual terror,
and diplomacy from the barrel of a gun.
He'd fight with Joe Hill in Valencia,
try to free the third world's millions
from hunger and despair.
He'd stand with the peasants
at the pockmarked
and they'd haul him
in on bail.
He'd condemn all forms of apartheid,
and he'd rot in their stinking jails.
He'd denounce all
dictatorships
and mammon's greed,
the exploitations of others
for gain.
He'd oppose the nuclear madness
and the waging of wars in his name.
He'd mix with prostitutes and sinners,
challenge all to cast the first stone.
A compassionate agitator,
one of the greatest
the world has known.
He'd condemn all corrupt law and order,
tear man -made hierarchies down.
He'd see titles and status as dominance
and the politics of greedy hound.
He'd fight against the leagues

One of the greatest
