Chimney Sweeper

 William Blake

is a poet who
wrote of social inequities
and was an
advocate. Gone - not forgotten.

The child upon the heath,
among death and soot
in chimney sweep's clothes
leaves me in tears.

I think we can do better,
more people can have better;
Blake's words are not gone,
for we can rise up.
