the labourer

trembling hands praying

hoping for rains

on parched lands as dry as their tears

not a drop of water in years

how do we expect solution of fears?

from hearts that have not seen happiness,

that do not recognise the feeling of strength

strength is a privilege; a rich boy’s flex

that sips on his pina coladas, parties & relaxes

covering his weaknesses & lack of spine with gold chain & rolexes

the labourer does not need steroids for those abs

his hands are made of rock; from the soil that he grabs

his revenge will be swift, and the hierarchy will change

the day he decides to break those chains

chains of the “system”, the color and caste

when awakened for revolt, for his last chance.

no were to run; no wear to hide

he comeths from the jungle, wearing the lion’s hide
