Working man lament (Free verse) by Garrett S Sexton
Same shit, new day, I'm up and out.
There is no time for coffee, is this what it is all about..
Is this what it's all about?
My journey's long, and my day is hard.
But cigarettes and joking, thats what gets me through.
Then theres the thought of you..
You make it right, you make it ok, thanks to you I'm ready for another
day.
another day, low pay.
We reap what we sow, guess we sow what we reap.
I fall in line with all the other sheep.
5 to 9..
With all the other sheep?
One day I will, someday I say.
Till then I struggle, for opportunity is just a step away.
And till then what the hey!
You make it right, you make it ok, thanks to you I'm ready for another
day.
The thought of you makes the pain go away..

somehow chillingly reminiscent
the rhyme with sheep is a bit daft though
