Night time sharpens <br />The air stiffens <br />Behind the bough does Luna hide <br />What a deadly, dull sky <br /> <br />Under the lacklustre night <br />Generates shadows and fright <br />In a decayed, shabby room <br />Wher windows and doors are locked tight <br /> <br />Black-rimmed eyes never glisten <br />Sealed lips now tightened <br />Robotic fingers all stay alert <br />Fatigue never hinders their work <br /> <br />Pitiful creatures imprisoned in small box <br />Never complain, never stop <br />All they want is to finish the job <br />All night long, working like a dog <br /> <br />Rules are strict, yet they carry on <br />Freedom is rare, yet they work till dawn <br />'We need money, so we carry on' <br />'We need jobs, so we work till dawn' <br /> <br />Under the dark, deadly sky <br />Harshness and tyranny lie <br />Throughout the long night| <br />You can still see those hapless eyes<br /><br />April Fung<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/doomed/
