about

These words were found on a piece of paper in the cell of legendary bard and labour organizer Joe Hill after his execution:



My will is easy to decide
for there is nothing to divide.

My kin don't need to fuss and moan
moss does not cling to a rolling stone

My body, ah, if I could choose
I would to ashes it reduce

and then the merry breeze would blow my dust
to where some flowers grow.

Perhaps some faded flower then
would come to life and bloom again.

This is my last and final will
good luck to all of you.
- Joe Hill
