From an Oakland Kaiser Worker
You have me as an essential worker
You have me ‘til death do us part
from work
“Essential” – you call me
Dispensable – you make me feel
BUT
I know deep in my veins
You are nothing without me
OR anything without the workers you depend on to make you money
Through thick and thin
