Behind the men on the street, <br />responsible for cleaning and hygiene, <br />Behind the men on the site, <br />who work under sun and rain, <br />Behind the men in the factories, <br />who work with machines and maladies, <br />Behind the men in the fields, <br />who sweat and dry that with dirty rugs, <br />Behind the men in the conditioned offices, <br />who have to slouch and repeat the diction, <br />Behind every professional and politician, <br />who have to do the particular work and prove, <br /> <br />there are few mouth at home, <br />earnestly waiting for them. <br />To keep the food on the table, <br />to provide cloth and shelter, <br />to educate and medicate, <br />to love, care and cherish, <br />Most labor goes for love, <br />Love that we have, <br />Upon our loved ones, <br />our friends, society, <br />and our dear nation, <br />That energizes us, <br />To work tirelessly. <br /> <br />Behind the millions of housewives, <br />who work all day and night for the whole year, <br />there stand a family, <br />to prove that the toil of these women, <br />not wasted and the labor of these women, <br />connect the hearts through the stomach and mind. <br /> <br />Everyone of us is a laborer, <br />who have to serve the Gods, <br />who, are the laborers themselves, <br />for they create, protect and save us, <br />throughout the year without any rest. <br /> <br /> <br />Happy Laborer's day!<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-labour-s-day/
