Awake and Sing!

Text

So you believe in God . . . you got something for it? You! You worked for all the capitalists. You harvested the fruit from your labor? You got God! But the past comforts you? The present smiles on you, yes? It promises you the future something? Did you found a piece of earth where you could live like a human being and die with the sun on your face? Tell me, yes, tell me. I would like to know myself. But on these questions, on this theme鈥攖he struggle for existence鈥攜ou can鈥檛 make an answer. The answer I see in your face . . . the answer is your mouth can鈥檛 talk. In this dark corner you sit and you die. But abolish private property!

Odets, Clifford, 鈥淎wake and Sing!,鈥� Waiting for Lefty and Other Plays, Grove Press, p. 73.
