Poem-A-Day by BlogTramp Ray - Factory

Factory - edit II:

We’re all living in a factory; we’re all living in a factory
Homeless Hungry Hobo, he’s a site to see
He’s a lotto ticket addict
A Rolly Rocket fanatic
Shopping for used groceries
He mumbles and stares at his muddy shoes
While the empty bottles in his plastic bag knock together
Like the cahiers’ knees while she asks him to leave
Wondering will he refuse/
He’s of no fixed address
N’he’s the number one suspect
Of arson at the Preece Family Refuge
On Barton Street

We’re all living in a factory
We’re all living in a factory
And I can taste it on my tongue
I can smell it in the Janu-air
As I run along the waterfront and chase the pyres and vapor trails

We’re all living in a factory
A long way from home
A long way from home
Motherless Children; You and me
A long way from home
‘Go into the mass’ve machine like unique scruffy tramps
‘Come out; carrying the brief case, dressed in fancy shirt n clip on noose, n' zip up skirt
to brain-stem hives,
Wearing universal bar code stamps,
n' branded at the end of steel-coil cold roll vast assimilate, assembly lives
Leisure Lords of Labour clamps; bunk us' bed-bugged, dronin' on in clockpunch camps
It's a festival, this day
they say
they sway...
Factory Factory Factory Factory
Livin' in a factory
