Hard work! Hard work! <br />Condemned full <br />All the years of all <br />My life <br />All the days <br />And <br />All the months <br />All the years <br />And more <br />And more <br />As a train that tired <br />Grows <br />As age more inside <br />It grows <br />Yet <br />In this cage of such hard work <br />Since my boyhood I entered <br />And <br />I entered with my will <br />Shut up the rest all outside <br />Saw sometimes outside <br />But in <br />The cage of work stood in <br />And <br />As these verses and these songs <br />Read you, friends, <br />As the Principles of the sciences <br />The plays, epics, lyrics throng <br />Economics, social sciences all along <br />And the rest <br />That all points of civilization touch <br />At its lows and at its best: <br />Remember this, <br />I have been for years all long <br />As this <br />And will I think so remain <br />In the cage of work and work<br /><br />Emmanuel George Cefai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hard-work-2/
