All in a Days Work
Looking back in history at the industrial age through the eyes of an unappreciative, young whippersnapper who takes what he has for granted.

A mystery of history: the industrial age,
Speedy progress of production at home set the stage.
Advanced in a craft with the vision ofteamwork
Clang, whirl, zoom, zip, tink, vroom; just like clockwork.
The big boss sets the pace of the "big boom" mission
Workers from all continent set into position.
'Affordable, fun, speedy, and needed'
Advertisements were made while the employees pleaded:
The big man's interest in the bang of economic consumption
Overlooked the little man's crazy drive to dysfunction.
"Work harder and faster for half the pay
Or we'll give yourjob to another" you would hear them say.
The standardized brutality of the emotionless superiors
Finally forced the almost robotic workers to seize the interiors.
Furious of the regiments from the massive hand
A buzzing revolution spread across the land.
"We need a union" was shouted with discontent.
Finally added was that much needed supplement.
The work place today is much better in review
With all that we could want and much more than that too.
