Dust pickers

Opinionated action of this nation
Cannot be told of the hypocrisy in the south
Church
Beer
Chicken
Women up on a pole
Misinterpreted free
Distorted by the distraction of the gladiators smashing helmets and bodies while the rich rip through the old towns left dying to the new age of iphones and obesity
Until the government falls to pieces under this consumerism dust gathering
While housewives and old men walk across the concrete slabs stretching from here and more
You would never know poverty unless you were the carney men and women living it
Underground peddlers of the old pieces lost to the races of new and modern
Contemporary hipsters
Backwards thinkers
Seen value in the worst of this world
Naivety
Misguided trust in the people
I cannot hold
Just like the hand of a woman who sells fur coats and beauty to the vain widows
Lost loves to wars of the rich and loquacious
I can see backwards in the metal and skin of these men as they might have seen me through future tales

Angered and frustrated as the dust pickers walk across the southeast
