Florence Kelley — [ Poem ] — February 20th , 2021 — Robert Bayer — (3 pages)

Florence Kelley, Lived her life angelically, devotionally Destroying the societal evils destroying the vulnerable of society: For this was the era of the monopoly monsters of industry When Cruel Capitalism preyed upon children, women, minorities; Millions dead, broken, impoverished in toxic, crushing factories. YET ALL HAIL TO MS. KELLY— The first to finally bring about laws ensuring laborers’ safety. Ever battling — the obscenely rich, the uncaring powerful — heroically

Till social justice would free, would protect the enslaved laborers ever more fully. Just the beginning, but at last citizens with real hopes, futures,

opportunities.

For all deserve to be educated, to be safe, to be paid prosperously, To live their lives fulfillingly, communally, joyfully; Ever Alive with Spirit Angelic: Florence Kelley.

Florence Kelley, Lived her life angelically, devotionally Destroying the societal evils destroying the vulnerable of society: For this was the era of the monopoly monsters of industry When Cruel Capitalism preyed upon children, women, minorities; Millions dead, broken, impoverished in toxic, crushing factories. YET ALL HAIL TO MS. KELLY— The first to finally bring about laws ensuring laborers’ safety. Ever battling — the obscenely rich, the uncaring powerful — heroically Till social justice would free, would protect the enslaved laborers ever more fully. Just the beginning, but at last citizens with real hopes, futures, opportunities. For all deserve to be educated, to be safe, to be paid prosperously, To live their lives fulfillingly, communally, joyfully; Ever Alive with Spirit Angelic: Florence Kelley.
