Work <br /> <br />What should be just play <br />Was turned into toil for pay. <br />The curse of sin they say. <br />Why do they lead us astray? <br /> <br />Worker's Pledge <br /> <br />Salt and sweat will rule my day. <br />I will work for my daily pay. <br />Myself will I never betray. <br /> <br />Limits <br /> <br />Humans will never know an earthly end <br />Ever striving higher, deeper, faster then <br />Never ready to breath a last amen. <br /> <br />Youth <br /> <br />Life - what about it do you care for most? <br />Living - isn’t that your only boast? <br />What later then will be your toast? <br /> <br /> - May 19,2008<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/work-worker-s-pledge-youth/
