An
anniversary worth remembering, a fighter for his class, November 19, 1915, Joe Hill was
murdered by firing squad by the state. He was charged with murder but
subsequent evidence proved he was innocent. Joe Hill was an organiser
for the IWW and spent his short adult life fighting for justice for
the ordinary people.
My
will is easy to decide,
For there is nothing to divide.
My kin don't need to fuss and moan,
"Moss does not cling to a rolling stone."
My body? Oh, if I could choose
I would to ashes it reduce,
And let the merry breezes blow,
My dust to where some flowers grow.
Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again.
This is my Last and final Will.
Good Luck to All of you,
Joe Hill
