The growing pain for the workers

 The growing pain for the workers

There's a storm brewing

 you can feel it in the air

Conflicted energy is running ramped everywhere

Voices are starting to rise each and every day

The thorn is not bent 

The winter cold is not going away

The frost is not spent 

It bits at your hands at times.

A conflicted mindset has 

spread across the land 

yours and mine.

As the people band together

 holding out their pride.

Treat us like humans 

pay us a decent wage

They cried.

The prices have grown 

higher and so has our rage.

We are not getting younger 

and that is the truth of each day.

When both parents work 

two jobs and lock away the youth.

Credit runs the country 

alone for each day

The paychecks are already spent 

And some have no bed to lay

We the people are human and not

Serfdom to be spent

You pay us the low money 

We pay your high rent.

The savings have been completed

With inflation on the rise 

we noticed supplies  held back 

For you could grow your prize.
