Son, breath
the fire
the iron
the wood
and the coal
son, see
the smoke
the morals
the lies
and the goal
Son, hear
the grinding
the silence
the groans
and the thunder roll
son, feel
the wieght
the work
the world
and man's toll

This is really about the Industrial Revolution, which I just finished studying in History, i found it facinating how the world revolved around the labor forces and yet they were treated like the lowest of the low.

This is really simple, and the form you used works perfectly. I really understand the feelings in this, even though I don't remember much of the industrial revolution from history class. I do remember the basics though, and I feel that your write says some of the things that needs to be said. Good job!
