M-i-d-d-l-e riddle
I was the middle child in a middle class family
In a middle income country
Through the middle of modernism
During the middle of a Marxist movement.
To miss being maimed in the middle of a mess
I left my middle income country
In the middle of monetizing markets
With middle motivation to master.
But, I found myself marching
In the middle of meddling middle income migrants
Of middle height and middle muscular mass
Minting in a country
That was in the middle of no where.
