LABOUR DAY

in r2cornell •  2 years ago 

If l may ask you;
Which day is this?
You may say
A death toll day.

Why death toll day?
If l may ask you,
Yes, death toll day,
Of hunger and of poverty.

Why of hunger and poverty?
Yes, lowest wage indeed,
It neither take us home;
Nor take care of our household.

Woe onto this labour day;
It neither celebrate bliss,
Nor talk of sublease
In our midst as if we are slaves.

They called it labour day;
Can we called it abortion day?
They called it May day;
As l called it moribund day.

The labour of our sweat;
Truncated through tweet,
By the good, the bad;
And the ugly in our midst.

What a dilemma;
Camouflage into melodrama,
From clockwise direction;
Into anticlockwise deception.

The labour of our heroes past;
Can it be in vain?
Not at all down drain;
May we see the rain.
