April Is National Poetry Month!
GET UP AND DO
MARCUS GARVEY
You sit and quarrel all your life,
And blame the moving world at
large:
You fail to enter in the strife,
To sail in
fortune's happy barge.
Get up my man and do the "stuff"
That leads to blazing
glory's fame:
Hold on, and be like good Macduff,
And damn
the man who'd foil your name.
1935
