19 a short poem about the 1911 Triangle shirtwaist fire in Manhattan by kevin dwayne blanch

The 1911 triangle shirtwaist fire has come full circle, it is a tragic irony that after two world wars, two so called fighting of the Chinese communisit crossing of the 17th parallel not the 19 th and the giant W. Cheney bremmer carl rove with a small c as his mother intended wolfy pissing match. Here we are right where we started exploiting the labor forces of America. Like the two creeps in Manhattan looking out over Washington square. Staring right down on what would be Jackson Pollack’s 8^th street studio and across form the N.Y.U. Window Castros supporters started Dreaming up a 20 man takeover,the exact place the 1969 gay march was born the stonewall riots sparked the birth place of Abstract Impressionism de-kooning, Pollack, Gorky, Was the horrific nightmare explosion byproduct of greed. Like the mowers of lawns and the stuccoers of stucco and the cleaners of toilets, and the planters of sod. They work and then they work some more and their fruits are injected like nirvanic heroin to the giant limestone mansions down 5^th Avenue to the giant gated fake stucco fake rock fake breast mansions of unicorn Orwellian dogs. They lap it up with their panted split at the tip Tongues.

They burned to death and jumped to their death in a passionate thrust to life to watch their children live to watch their grandchildren live to hope for their Children’s eyes to watch their grandchildren live they WHERE MOMS and soon to be Moms AND ARE FUTURE GRANDMOMS. They stood up to the players off creeps with sticks calling them self’s LAW enforcement when they were of Evil himself best friends, the taking cash to crack a young women’s face. Excepting cash to empower the tiny tiny Freudian sex organs of the small in all, They walked back to their brownstone, limestone Mansions with their heads down NOT GUILTY, but they still had their walk, the Jewish and Italian and Irish and German and all other European first and second generations GIRLS 15 16 17 23 their boyfriends last embrace. Popular opinion and Freidan self-awareness masking in contempt with a Greenback as a club with an Ignorant Idealism as a funny religion they die. But unlike the Brown exploited of today and the working masses of brown brown yellow of blackish white of whitish brown, of poor POOR, they lived on via the other young women THEY changed THE WORLD. The girls of the triangle shirtwaist fire changed the world for the better. Much much better they saved millions of lives with their 165 lives. NO MORE working 12 Hours a day 7 days a week with locked doors and scraps for money. They gave the wind too the SUFFARGE strong 1919 19^th Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom with in freedom throughout.

It has been 100 years it is too strong to stop we have revisited the small ideas of the 5^th avenue few in the Garment districts of China and South Korea, and Mexico, and San Palo, but we as the strong Americans in power the exploiters He said NO F.D.R. Mariner Eccles MY TOWN. They said no you will not sell your exploited goods in our country. Truman Eisenhower, Kennedy all 5 of them, Johnson Nixon, Ford, and Regan, H. Bush said NO. STOP;;; NAFTA SAYS YES. ALL THREE OF THEM SAY YES. They can mow your lawn, they can build your fake mansion, and in that context it is worse. At least the 5^th Ave. Mansions where of quality, The fake stone fake paint in drywall calling venetian plaster, fake Styrofoam with paint STUCCO LIKE Balco THAT’S STUCCO, like fake Breast like hair extensions from executed Chinese prisoners , we exploit. Our lawnmowers of lawn our cookers of sand called beef, our labors of labor , our rooftop chimney builders, our sewer trench trenchers we exploit here their everywhere we rant we do nothing.

There have been several fires that killed even more than The 1911 Triangle shirtwaist 165, many more little children, more than once many more. The difference now is in 1911 as wrong as popular opinion was it had a conscious, now it has NONE. They died in China they die afraid to go to the emergency room in Utah and Arizona and Chicago. They die in Mexico with a cheap Russian machine gun we all must own here in the 2^nd amendment fallacy LAND. We do not care we have no conscious.

In 1911 the girls died their graveyard sacred hollow ground, that many like me know of and many like their 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 generations after visit. WE KNOW SOME OF US KNOW we care, some of us care we benefited all of us. The others the said others, brownish white blackish yellow whiteish black, working poor like antebellumS with no shelter or healthY diet. NO ONE KNOWS NO ONE CARES NO ONE except the Orwellian sheepskin fakers think they benefit from fake breast and fake stone THEY ARE NOT MASONS 13 they are fooled even they. It is A BALCO FALLACY IT IS Mark McGwire; using Albert Bells Bat breaking Ruth, DiMaggio, Williams 406, MariS 61, and Aarons 714 with one 15 year swing of the bat. Let’s play two. It is time to remember how we got where WE WHERE, the Greatest generation to the Worst Generation the baby boomer Ignorant. Post ignorance someday. NOT TODAY.

I REMEMBER I NEVER FORGOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Their legacy lives the 165 young Jewish Italian European Women lives HISTORY AND THE LOVERS OF HISTORY will never let it diE. It’s called Human dignity. Remember that, not?? ???????????????????
