EMMA GOLDMAN   I have just arrived from Lawrence, Massachusetts where,   eight weeks ago, the workers there went on strike. They are   starving, their children are dying but they are holding firm   and we must support them.      YOUNGER BROTHER   It was winter in New York   As the snow began to fall.   And the workmen's hall had not a seat to spare.   When a young man stepped inside,   Just to warm himself, was all,   The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square.      EMMA   What is happening in Lawrence is happening everywhere.   Let us at last make this the land of opportunity for   all people, not just the owners. The land of opportunity   for Tateh and his little girl. We cannot rest!      YOUNGER BROTHER   She was speaking loud and fast   Through a haze of noise and heat   And the smell of sweat and anger in the air.   The police were standing by   But the crowd was on it's feet   The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square.      EMMA   You!      YOUNGER BROTHER   He thought he heard her say...      EMMA   What brings you here today?      EMMA, RALLYERS   Poor young rich boy!      EMMA   Masturbates for a Vaudeville tart!   What a waste of a fiery heart,    Dear!      YOUNGER BROTHER   He thought she said...      EMMA, RALLYERS   Poor young bourgeois!      EMMA   There are things that you've never thought.   Come to Emma and you'll be taught   Here!      YOUNGER BROTHER   His head was spinning!      EMMA, RALLYERS   People feathered and tarred, my friend.   Unions broken and why for?   Children laboring, women still enslaved!   Leave you little backyard my friend.   There are causes to die for!      RALLYERS   Strike!      YOUNGER BROTHER   In the gutters of the city   I have tried to find some meaning.      RALLYERS   Strike!      YOUNGER BROTHER   In the arms of fallen women.   In the thought of suicide.      RALLYERS   Strike!      YOUNGER BROTHER EMMA   Like a firework unexploded,    Wanting life but never   knowing how...   My brother,   Life had meaning   RALLYERS   Strike!    I'll show you how!   YOUNGER BROTHER   Till now!   My brother, you are   With us now!   He was calling out her name,   Shouting what, he did not know   And he found that he was standing on a chair   With a heart as clean and new   As the frshly fallen snow,   The night that Goldman spoke...      EMMA   I've been waiting for you.      YOUNGER BROTHER   At Union Square.      WORKERS   Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!       ORGANIZER   Put the children on the train! Get them out of here!      TATEH   I hate you, goddamned America!      LITTLE GIRL   Tateh! Tateh!
