There's nothing to eat in the kitchen
of Charles Frank Watchman
born here in this town
and deceased last winter
We polish the worktop
made from his gravestone
There is not a scratch on it
The coffin in which he lay
have we traded for
nothing, bacon and beans
Times are changing
but inequality is not
no matter how many marches
we walk to the Great Golden
White, Pink, or Blue House
