bluecollar

the truth doesn't greet you like the sun in the morning. usually it would rather sneak upon you when you least expect it.

he's

a whiteman

not just

an alabaster-skinned

descendant of cro-magnon

but also an outlier
who aligns himself with
that league of men
who rule the world

except color

doesn't trump class

cannot form a bond

between the haves

and the have-nots

he's a whiteman

a working man

a blue collar proud

to be an american

man

but he's mostly

a bought man

his time his life leased

out in daily

increments of blood

sweat and fears

the rights purchased

by a cadre of wealth

purveyors

not too unlike those

from the past 

except they preferred 

to own rather than 

rent
