The Sounds of Drills...

The sounds of drills fill the air,
The means of progress, there and there.

When these buildings, were conceived and delivered?
What of you and me? Only pennies.
We fall and drop, but still shine plenty.
Insignificant and yet the first of monetary means.
Full of potential and a link to your valuable construction beams…

You continue to hope and pull through submission,
Displaying your blind faith and playful acceptance,
Never knowing if tomorrow will make its entrance.
Or will a sheet cover your sparkling eyes,
Carrying you forth, on heavenly rides …
