Roots.

The bottom of the triangle,
last step of the hierarchical order.
Lower levels of unskilled labour.
Uneducated, unimportant morons.

Yes. We are the grass root.
You treat us like your foot.
But we are the root
that forms the tree.
We build the palace and bridge
that shows off your grandeur.

We live care free
far from your mockery.
With valor, we face
your daily raze.

We are the workers,
the grass root
that forms the tree.
Thank us for your spree.
