The sum-up of a worker at the time, with a timetable to all his life. And he has got one hour of spare time a day, before he sleeps. Not more. In the end, he commits suicide, and noone understands, because he was such a normal person, wasn't he?
Great poem, I cannot find a translation to English atm.

Also, you are not alone. There is a poem by a famous author, "Kurt Schmidt, statt einer Ballade," describing the same problem around 1930.
