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!
