Factory Life
March 18, 2013
Waking up in the morning
Way before dawn
Fighting to get out of bed
Hard to when your bones ache
He shuffles around beginning his daily routine
Packing his lunch
Putting his uniform on
Waking up his family to start their own morning
And hugging them good bye
Before he goes to the blood sucking place
That drains more and more out of him
Every single day
It's taken twenty years of his life
And what's he got to show for it
Hard working ethic?
But that doesn't pay the bills
He will keep going to the place that kills
Until he too, is dead
