The share of labour
The share of labour
With a pack on the back and all the physical strength.
He climbs the tree to grab the best.
Step by step with great difficulty he climbs.
Collecting the fruits he tells the story of power and the might.
Picking the best out of his laborious collection.
He moves to the market to have a fair share.
The shop is set, and the bargaining is done.
As the day ends few coins are earned.
Be it the people with torn slippers,
Or the people in the shining vehicles.
They fight to bring down the prices of the fruits.
Bringing all the labour down to two grams of tears.
Neglecting the labour done backstage.
Success is taken for granted and weightless.
You fight for your labour, you fight for your success.
The world is all set to tear you in pieces.
