Blue Collar Workers Are the Gods that Created Civilization

A poem by Wolf Larsen

The word hope is as huge and as great as the sun roaring over the world, our hands – workers’ hands – have built the endless civilizations shining across the earth through the millenniums, our hands can hold books and the words can bath us, our hands can grab and embrace workers of other colors and nations and sexual preferences with a love that flows like the October Revolution across the centuries, a sea of hands, an ocean of white brown and black – waves and waves of workers splashing all over history creating a new world that is ours

I don't understand the "new world" at the very end, but I must say it sounds nice. Good wolf :)

Not to be harsh, but my honest opinion, it strikes me as too much like socialist propaganda under Stalin. It sort of lacks poetic originality and seems to preach the ideology of communism. Not so much to my taste in a poem, but as an essay maybe.

I'm never one to critique a poem on style alone, although I must admit this form doesn't do much for me. I'm not sure I quite catch your point, and it would be grossly unfair to say negative things when you just don't understand the poem. That would seem to me at least a possibility that the reader missed something. I'll read it at another time and get back to you.
