POEM - Billy is to Blame

The reason I am this way
Has a lot to do
With the fact of Billy Bragg
The fact that Fletcher opened my eyes
And when he talks and sings
About "There is power in a union!"
How could I not think it was true
And Bragg is infectious 
Ringing into your consciousness
The feedback buzzes into your spine
As the hair stands on end
And he celebrates our Democracy
Becries our faillings 
And let's us know
The USA is awful big
And as goes the US so goes the world
I feel responsible
Inhaling a fight song
Digging with the diggers
Dressing like the Communists
Worshipping Woody
Fascists beware
The milk of Human Kindness
Will make us all a little better
