Another cog sanctioned to help turn the capitalist cycle,
Trapped! Forever in this self perpetuating mechanism.

Another body sentenced to break itself to help preserve the lifestyle of the more fortunate,
In the vein hope that one day they can too enjoy some of life’s freedoms.

Another vote not loud enough to speak of their personal indifferences,
But enough to add a crumb to that year’s politician’s half-baked ideas.

Another soul destined to live a life they hadn’t intended,
Living to work, rather than living to live.
