Do we work?

When we work do our hands blister
Do our heads sweat
Do our feet swell
And our muscles ache

When we work do we moan
Its too hot
Its too cold
Its too far
Its too close

When we work to we walk miles to get there
For mere pennies a day
Do we go unheard
Unappreciated

When we work do we moan
Pays too little
Hours are too much
Not enough incentives
There's a whole bunch

When we work do we wr the same clothes
And remain humble in them
Walk bear foot among the trees and animals
But remain prideful in that walk

When we work do we complain
He said
She said
They said this
And we said that

Yet when they work
They work
And when they work they smile
When they work they could cry
Working in such conditions they could even die
Yet they try and get by
So I sigh

As the pathetic work ethic we claim so high
And the lazy nature
Coupled with fake smiles
Fraudulent knowledge
And wasted pride

We could learn a whole lot from these people
We should learn from these people
We will learn and mirror these people.

Ispired by work at Kanyanjara school!
