THE POPULAR FRONT FOR THE LIBERATION OF CPSA
FIGHTING ON IN OUR 45th YEAR BUT A BIT RETIRED NOW
FREEDOM! UNITY! SOCIALISM!
ONE CIVIL SERVICE UNION,
ONE GLORIOUS DESTINY!
REVOLUTION UNTIL VICTORY!
KULTUR KORNER
The Activist's Year
Life under the new regime
By Agent Homer Kiam
January brings the rain
On the picket line again
Hailstone sleet and squally showers
Mark rants on for hours and hours
February's colder still
Snowstorm, slush and bitter chill
The picket line is down to four
The others' part time jobs pay more
March is what we've got to do
Freezing cold and windy too
More strike action on the cards
But we like Mark's fighting words
Showers in April seem all right
Posting leaflets out all night
Stand by offices all day
Cannot give the things away
May brings sunshine to us all
In the bloody conference hall
Stuart Currie's victory speech
Seems to take the whole damn week
Then at last its blazing June
But of course it's come too soon
Global warming's such a pain
Thunder lightning and more rain
July and August might be hot
But we don't care a single jot
Because we've all gone far away
On eighty-five percent strike pay
In September we come back
To find that we've all got the sack
After giving it great thought
Lawyers tell us "Go to court."
In October courts go out
We are left without a shout
Strike pay's gone, they'll have a levy
So that we can pay for bevy
November's cold and wet for sure
The union's broke and we're all poor
But our leaders make a deal
We go back under the heel
Sharp December frost and fog
At last I've got a union job
Ballot papers on the way
The revolution's here to stay
