LABOUR ON

LABOUR ON

The vision looks light years asunder

The mission looks impossible

Time flies with the cheetah

Opportunities fade with the wind

Frustrations never say die

Bolts and nuts appear foes

But no matter what or how it seems,

Labour on!

Labour on, mankind!

Labour on!

Sweat persistently glues to the skin

Hunger drills the tummy awfully

Thirst thrust the throat like a dagger

The inner man just doesn't click

Energy levels drown at sea

Words of encouragement sound nonsensical

Assistance slumbers when we call

But however thick or thin it seems

We must labour on

Labour on, mankind!

Labour on!

Labour on, mason!

When projects never appear

Labour on, civil servant!

When your take-home pay doesn’t seem to take you home

Labour on, student!

When grades ‘C and D’ become your identity

Labour on, graduate!

When your countless job applications yield no call up

Labour on, lady!

When no love proposal comes your way

Labour on, husband!

When all your skills in bed trigger no foetus

Labour on, pastor!

When coins conquer your offering bowl

Labour on!

Labour on, son of man!

Labour on, daughter of Eve!

Labour on!

Labour on!

For as the tree always whispers to the seed below,

For before it gets better

It definitely has to get worse!

Labour on!
