2016: EB POETS EXERCISE LXXV

Working Man

The chart on his palm are a guide

For many accomplished and lazy pending 

His broken feet are a glass slide

Reflection of his face with sweats from fending.- Leon

I know a man who gets bored easily

I won’t call him a working man necessarily

Except when it came to women and planting his seeds 

From what he sows though he definitely would reap – Sam

Sweat and blood soaked into the ground

Your dreams chase like slave masters

Look beyond the fields, step out the cage

A freshly dug grave, a resting place for minimum wage- Joy

Him shoe don chop alignment

Him pocket never still see the dividend

Him wife and children still dey house dey wait for that one square meal

To be a man no be pikin trade. – Tee2emm

A full plate of food is so much to be afforded. 

Aggression gets often transferred. 

Burying the same time in work all day. 

The minimum wage offer is so maximum that it has to be delayed. Hypermind
