we stand always on the left

we stand always
on the left
we stand united
one people, one nation.
stable, for progress too unclear
unmoving and apathetic
a pact, one firm promise
by Faust
of money unending
but a race unrelenting.

we stand always
on the left
with fear of that fine
lamed by gluttony
driven by naught

we stand never
in the right.
