Then
the song that rides men all their lives
When
they have reached the right weight of years.
The
song of WORK springs into their bright souls
To
punch the broken clock of all their days.
To
labour for some bastard in a tower
Who
leaks their light with every passing hour.
Those
corporate donkeys snuffling in their trough
Are
fearful of that thing that sets men free.
The
endless driving of the gritted wheel
Grinds
the gilded amber of their dreams
And
hollows out their core. Their souls
Are
frozen like some fearful glacier;
Or
river silted with limitless greed,
Grabbing
in its gaping maw all
that
is wild and mad and on the budding
Spur. Those that love their work are few,
Perhaps
one or two, while millions slave
Like
cattle, herded to an early grave.
They
work; they save; they work; they save; they work.
I think this needs some WORK!
