Just another day (Memorial Nicole highway collapse)

Once again he caught the train
that left everyday for work
Once again he ate his lunch
sandwiches, and hold the onion
that his wife prepared daily
Once again he soldered
Once again he hammered
Once again he sweated buckets
and smoked behind the generator
between the gas cylinders...
Once again he saw his work
completed, and once again
he returned home to a loving family
with kids and a wife and a dog
Once again he slept on the cold
hard couch, uncer measly blankets
because his loving wife totally ignored him
But not once did his paycheck arrive
or his Boss note his prescence at
the construction site,
You cannot see the dead who refuse to believe.
