PERPETUAL LABOURERS

So they say after the fact,

When the curtains are split,

That we shall dance the dance.

The uphill dance of reconstruction:

Reviving what we can

Of all that we have destroyed.

Dancing on the rough grounds of regrets

Sharply pebbled,

Making our beds on the road full of harsh objects.

Night grooving over us its hard-feeding pinchers

And dawn its cheerless scorcher.


Down tools!

Work no more

For sins we know little!


So they say again

That men unevenly labour perpetually

For what they constantly destroy!

With the reason never clear to us

We labour back and forth

For the fruits of the fruits of our labour;

People we may never know.
