From the Special 300th issue of The Western Socialist
`'Tis to work and have such pay,
As just keeps life from day to dayIn your limbs, as in a cellFor the tyrants' use to dwell,
`'Tis to hunger for such diet
As the rich man in his riot
Casts to the fat dogs that lie
Surfeiting beneath his eye.
`Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number--
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many they are few.

Hasten on that glorious day
When man on man no more shall prey,
When prophets, priests and kings
Shall be numbered with forgotten things.
P. B. Shelley
What is known in the game as a 'space filler'. A wonderful space filler, but a space filler nonetheless.
