Misery Index

Working, these bodies unconscious,
all slaving for a lifetime with nothing to show.
Hours injected, with years invested,
for these martyrs with a dying wage-death wage.
Alive-yet lifeless. Tired of breathing,
tired of living, tired of slaving,
alive- yet lifeless! Tired of breathing,
tired of living, tired of slaving,
born-dead new world slaves.
Dying for notions of progress,
a manufactured caste of actors displayed demands rejected,
the bosses connected, in this inbred power play- death play.
