Vachel Lindsay - Factory Windows are Always Broken

FACTORY windows are always broken. 
Somebody's always throwing bricks, 
Somebody's always heaving cinders, 
Playing ugly Yahoo tricks. 

Factory windows are always broken. 
Other windows are let alone. 
No one throws through the chapel-window 
The bitter, snarling, derisive stone. 

Factory windows are always broken. 
Something or other is going wrong. 
Something is rotten--I think, in Denmark. 
End of factory-window song.

Yours poems are really enjoyable it is fun reading them. kAVITA HARRIPERSAD. from Trinidad and Tobago, Republic Comment 1 of 2, added on January 31st, 2005 at 7:23 AM. A simple poem brilliantly observed. The poets humour and light touch not lost on a schoolboy factory window stone thrower, 40 years ago. A wonderful introduction to this most talented and under-recognised 20th century great. Phil from United Kingdom More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
