Epitaph for the Man who Died Holding a Hammer
from a poet with a sword name
The hammer poem
by Dennis Espada
He delivers a blow to the gods of capital and–against all odds– grinds die-hard icons of greed, pounds emancipation they forbid. Hail the man holding the hammer who lives on like roaring thunder.
