Today's selection comes from Joe Hill.  He was a member of the Industrial Workers of the World and was heavily involved in organizing workers.   He was convicted of murder and in 1915 was executed by firing squad.  This case was and still is very controversial.  President Woodrow Wilson (who could not pardon Hill because murder is a state charge), the blind and deaf author Helen Keller along with people from every walk of life became involved in a bid for clemency. 

This is his Will:

My will is easy to decide

For there is nothing to divide

My kin don't need to fuss and moan

"Moss does not cling to a rolling stone."

My body? - Oh. - If I could choose

I would to ashes it reduce

And let the merry breezes blow

My dust to where some flowers grow

Perhaps some fading flower then

Would come to life and bloom again

This is my Last and final Will

Good Luck to All of you

Joe Hill

Many folk songs have been written about Joe Hill.  My personal favorite was by Joan Baez at Woodstock.  Here is that video.
