Day after day, we till the same fields Yearning for a different tomorrow, we eat the same meals Unable to bear the task, we run from our fears Powerless and weak, we hide from mirrors When will we understand there's no use in tears Drowning in self pity, porn and beers All for naught All such pity Even the learned of old knew Within one's will is strength If ignored this ancient echoes All left in hands in wasted years
Hum of clanging hammers fill the room with an echo Fire spews forth from the cauldrons as if dragons awoke One party gets to rest, the other starts hammering Heavy stench of rubber and metal, and pieces of steel that broke Sweat pours out from the pores as he shovels more coal into the dragons mouth Constant noise, constant shouts, senses numb A sense of endless urgency throughout the line Just to meet today's quota For a few paper bills
I looked up to what I thought couldn't exist I realized the eye looking at me. Single eye, Wide, White, And black in center. Colors I didn't know existed Emotions I've never felt before Just the eye and I Staring down at me, I'm looking down as well. Suddenly, millions of eyes I'm at the center, alone Another step closer to freedom.
