I can see
your castle
high on the hill
the mountain it completes
breaking the back of those rocky ridges
into submission
watch us toil in envy
and in the dream
that we might replicate
ourselves into your place
and in the less
that drops more freely
we work for pay
and promises that shift
and beliefs in dreams
that color our future brightly
whatever it be
treat us just well enough
to stay in the game
to buy, to spend
to show up again
at the appointed times
I can see you
but not really
so high
so far
so long
away
from me
out of reach
or will
or means
for sure
I can see
but it is not
as much
as I thought it was
pennies still valuable
before each pay day
even in these more
funded years
