Well, I wrote a poem for English class, and I think it needs a little proofreading. I'm sorry to ask this of you guys, but can you help me out a little bit? I need to bring my grade up a LOT and I think this baby could do it if I only got it perfect.
Conveyor Belt
What is life but an endless belt
Moving along with us on top
Transporting from Point A to Point B
Whoops, there goes my stop
There are thieves and killers and rapists
They take the bus and sit down next to
The hardworking, balding, stereotypical, middle class American man
Tired and wondering what's for supper
There are clouds and rain and sun and snow
And endless pattern of climate
No wonder the weather man always looks so bored
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter in that order every year
Cattle, Human cattle, we move along the belt
Happily mooing our way until the end
Some are lucky, get rich, live life
The rest of us work 9 to 5 with an 8 hour nap
In between each tedious shift
What is life but a factory floor
Covered with filth and the scum of the previous day
A conveyor belt, two belts in fact
One for the great and one for the C-student
Middle class, sleepy, scattered, hardworking bunch
Just like you and me
What is life but a conveyor belt
Moving us all in turn from
Point A to Point B?
