The mass media is murdering the image of common man.
The affluent, erudite, nonchalant pretenders
feign a life of poverty and struggle
wearing a stalwart facade.
An art 'for' the common man
by the 'common' men.
The modern day anti-Robin Hood,
taking riches from the poor
by talking of their own none existent squalor.
A commercialist attitude towards urban life,
glorifying dishonest work and convincing the kids to lack care.
I can hardly relate to this myself
so some could call me a hypocrite
but I don't pretend to be anything that I'm not
and I care about the way
words can touch someone's soul.
