Emma Goldman

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman

Can't blame Emma for rejecting domestic life
Baking bread, popping kids
Playing Stepford Wife
She ran and could'a hid
But that's not what she did

Emma spoke to the workers about rights
Tried to organize anarchy
Get Carnegie's peons to fight
Not all were keen on breaking free
They were slaves by choice in democracy

Did Emma fail?
She didn't succeed
Capitalism certainly did prevail
All anyone can do is try to lead
And leave books behind for the kiddies to read
