Toils and sweat <br />World’s upheavals <br />Revolutions in my name <br />The surplus counted <br />In terms real <br />Alienation and the slogan <br />'Workers of the world unite' <br />There I stand with no change in my life <br />The rule that I did in my proletariat revolution <br />The bourgeoisies I chased <br />In a stateless society <br />I lost will and faith <br />In my scientific definitions <br />To the utopia of a society <br />Without the shackles of state <br />Forced dislocations and the dogmatic politics <br />There I stand with my toils and sweat <br />In search of wage <br />No one knows I have desires <br />Beyond the science of economics and theories <br />Ridden with emotion swayed by the tide <br />No rescue I see my work still unpaid <br />Return from where I began the journey long <br />The intellectual vanguard the bureau of the polits <br />Long is my march small my desire <br />Accept my individuality and honor my work <br />Go beyond the science to the realm of feeling <br />Give the banner back <br />A revolution I can lead <br />The friction I did enough its time to reconcile <br />From the pigeon hole living let me breath fresh <br />Of art I know nothing but work I do <br />To the toils of my being let add some emotion <br />Out of the prison to some green of the garden <br />A worker I am but is it the law <br />Law of nature that inequality shall prevail <br />I know nothing <br />Is some one there to make me understand <br />What is the reality <br />And the nature of my being<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/worker-s-afterthought/
