I Am The Common Man



I am the Common Man.
I am the brute and the slave,
I am the fool, the despised
From the cradle to the grave.

I am the hewer of coal,
I am the tiller of soil,
I am serf of the seas
Born to bear and to toil.

I am the builder of halls,
I am the dweller of slums,
I am the filfth and the scourge
When winter's depression comes.

I am the fighter of wars,
I am the killer of men,
Not for a day or an age
But again and again and again.

I am the Common Man.
But Masters of mine take heed,
For you have put into my head
Oh! many a wicked deed.
