They pay me to be
interchangeable parts;
that's what we are.
They forget
to be human,
is not a mechanism.
The 'Golden Rule'
broken just as easily,
as the human spirit.
Fighting
I am,
for my life, my dignity.
The bottom line
don't ask for something,
you're not willing to give.
Earn my respect
remember,
I am a person.
