As a worker, today I joined fellow workers in Kisumu for the celebrations of the May Day; a ritual I have faithfully observed since I was 18 years old. I am afraid that Labour Day may be losing its true creed. The labour movement in Kenya should retrace its footsteps and reinvent its radical ideological standing and tendencies. It must focus on the share of output of economic production given to labour at the end of the production process, which process is fired by their brain and brawn. I am disturbed about this COTU/ PUSETU battle. I see the two political parties in Government fight for control of the labour movement in preparation for their imminent battle against each other in 2017. I am a sad worker. I end my day by singing SOLIDARITY FOREVER!: When the unions inspiration through the workers blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, But the union makes us strong. CHORUS: Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong. Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite, Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For the union makes us strong. Chorus It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade; Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid; Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made; But the union makes us strong. Chorus All the world thats owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone. We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone. It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own. While the union makes us strong. Chorus They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn That the union makes us strong. Chorus In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold. We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. Composition[edit]
