Human Commodities


tonnes of granite float up the nile

pushed across wet sand

mortar and ropes were their tools

limestone made it smooth,

day and night they worked by the

thousands the stories go...

many died and many lived because

of one man's ego and throughout

the years they became a wonder

but not for those who knew better,

destiny regulates our souls

legacies are just trivial pursuits,

we no longer own our future

the past easily forgotten

and when we see all is amiss

we point our fingers to today...

the wealthy control the workers

the workers control the air

nothing is accomplished  without

the sacrifice of the workers who

is seen as a expendable commodity.
