behind the skyscrapers
beyond the billboards
here lies luxury
between mountains
over hills
a life much different
a pop-up book of contentment
hidden behind their promises
it is between the pages
under the rubber tires
clenching onto freedom
yet here i stay
like a clockwork soldier
under a blue collar boot
I'm not sure I understand this one as much as I probably should. Maybe I'm over or under thinking it. I do like the phrase "clockwork soldier," though.
ReplyDeleteI really like this, the idea of dreaming/hearing of a "pop-up book" better life but being stuck with the day in/day out of reality and work and being one of the masses under the "blue collar boot."
