The Lives We Live
A Tyrant of black
Lounging in his tower of glass
Surveying all his domain
A Merchant of gold
Sitting in his mansion of bronze
Calculating in his voluminous ledgers
A Soldier of grey
Patrolling his streets of stone
Upholding the nations peace
A Worker of brown
Toiling at his labor in a steel factory
Trying to feed his starving family
A Man of white
Walking the brick alleys of a world in decline
Seeking the necessities he rarely has
