monument of the big wheel

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes

There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing

I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of axis over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes

We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
And i'll show you sunset sometime again

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again

Interesting idea, I feel sorry for the people drudging along in their line. I really like your composition. One suggestion for next time though, get 2-3+ figures and alternate them, maybe with some slight size variations so it is not as obvious that you are repeating. Nice job placing everyone and the helmet with shadows so they all fit in the scene.

thank you! the thing with the figures is done with an intention. regarding some things, humans are all the same. there should no difference in the look be seen. the ones who are a bit different stand apart or are sitting and thinking. i thought about variations and tried it out, but then i removed it and let this version develop.
