The Middle Class
They are neither here nor there
Floating in between brackets
A Just-Enough-Life
Not enough to afford diamonds and pearls
A false sense of security
Cushioned by the comfort of mediocrity
The middle of the food chain
Trapped in a cruel cycle
A powerless urban aristocracy
The aspiration of the poor people
The men and women of the white collar
The average citizens
They receive average wages
Their expenses and debt are beyond average
They have average education
They live average lives
How shall we escape from this dreadful life?/...
