When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year, who played me for a fool — then there will be no speaker in all the world say the name:

When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year, who played me for a fool — then there will be no speaker in all the world say the name: "The People," with any fleck of a sneer in his voice or any far-off smile of derision.

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from the poem "I Am the People, the Mob" by Carl Sandburg. The poem was written giving voice to the working class and its dissatisfaction with the ruling class that is said to govern for the people, but it oppresses, expels and disempowered the people, the most populous and real owner of the means of production, for whom the ruling class and rulers must put themselves in submission and not the other way around.

The poem reinforces the power of the people in society and how it is denied and taken away from them.
