I ain't got no home, I'm just a-roamin' 'round, Just a wandrin' worker, I go from town to town. And the police make it hard wherever I may go And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road, A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod; Rich man took my home and drove me from my door And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor; My crops I lay into the banker's store. My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

I mined in your mines and I gathered in your corn I been working, mister, since the day I was born Now I worry all the time like I never did before 'Cause I ain't got no home in this world anymore

Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see This world is such a great and a funny place to be; Oh, the gamblin' man is rich an' the workin' man is poor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

--- Woody Guthrie

Once again, my hat's off to all those from Zucotti Park for their courage, integrety, and determination to prove that, finally, the human spirit can never be crushed by tyranny, nor is compassion dead within that spirit, no matter how they've tried to kill it within us! You have not lost, not even remotely! The apple is ripe now and ready to simply fall from the tree - because of you - the REAL American Heros! I will never forget what you have done here, and neither will antiquity!
