The awkward shuffle of a draft animal
led home from the field
the cramped commute of a beast of burden
a calloused mind born of calloused hands
no eyes meet in this cattle car
empty
thoughtless
deterred
gainless
indentured servitude
black clouds are setting in
i can feel them
and the feeling of entrapment as we're stuffed in tiny cars
and for what
no ground gained from a penny pinched
no respite from sordid repetition
this is progress
sack of flesh with 40 years to give
i guess this is what's next
this is progress
