I see you, stranger, I see you

I see you, stranger, I see you,

I see your days in worries in your wrinkles,
So deep but evident as Baikals bottom,
And no one thanks your being eager
To do the summer when its autumn.

I see you enduring and coping with
Unfair ranks and words,and endless shift.
I see that you just want to breath,
But oxygen is high to reach and lift.

You want to be alive, you want to speak,
But dream is too expensive, you are tired
To earn your rest one week by week,
You are fed with asking:"dont you mind....".

The most funny thing, you know, is that
We are entirely free in actions, choices, changes,
But slavery remains in our heads
Its been absorbed by our paper wages.

I see you want to push the boundary
And prove your human force and will,
But you are still the part of army,
Who earn to eat and pay the bill.
