Sweat
Praise has never known you
Despite your eternal value
The world owes you
I declare, though impromptu
You are known to befriend the wretched
Together, your history is conjoined
Yet your destitution unparalleled
Aren’t you the producer of wealth?
Who said its high-tech!
Ironically, you are despised by the rich
Classes, you demarcate
Responsibility, you truncate
Shamelessly, value they appropriate
Relentlessly as you labor
So capitalism should you clobber
Aren’t you thirsty for your honor?
While most of us like hardworking as a compliment, sweating which is exceptionally and basically a symbol of hard work and responsibility is something we fondly abhor.
