Toiling

Purchase hoodie here

Quietly toiling 
breaking through stone 
Not as good as some 
but with everything I am

Work, work, work 
till I blister my hands
forget to eat –  
burn out from neglect

I get my coin – 
far less than hours worked 
but we all do that here 
so someone else can get rich

And I do okay
quietly toiling 
until someone else
get credited for the rocks I’ve broken through
