17 | Here Lies the Labored

here lies the labored

the hard-working

the preyed-upon

here lies the future

the power of a nation

the looked-down-upon

 

the world will go on

with or without

the labored

the world will go on

in graveyards

filled with unions

the world will go on

yes, it’ll go on

but it won’t be strong

 

humanity will die

and so will I

in a world

without the labored
