[Words inspired from song called `Bread and roses`]
[bread means the basic things we need to survive and roses means the luxuries,higher-ground means another step up on the ladder,trying to be the best.]
[verse 1]
As we go marching, marching,
To higher ground we slave,
blood bleeds down our faces,
from wounds of humiliation and pain,
[verse 2]
We fight for the lives of our children,
who have suffered too,
we will fight for bread and roses,
`till our days are through,
[chorus]
bread and roses ,
bread and roses,
[verse 3]
when we have won our freedom,
our bread and roses too,
worry we will no more,
`till our days are through,
[chorus]
bread and roses,
bread and roses,
[bridge]
when all fights are over,
and the love is spread around,
the true meaning of life will be found,
[chorus]
bread and roses,
bread and roses,
[verse 4]
when today's children grow up,
will the elders tell stories of our struggle?,
will stories be told about the horrors of what we went through?,
I hope so,
or:
when today's children grow up,
will they understand the struggles we fought,
the horrors we went through,
I hope so,
because we mostly fought for them,
[chorus]
bread and roses,
bread and roses.
or:
[I change it to something else entirely?]



Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.
