THE SIGN OF HARD WORK


Early in the morning The birds alarm Time to build While others demolish They crack the land Callous like iron Washed with the sudor Sign of hard work Patriotic duties Pay tax Nation building What an uphill battle The bosses are at risk Servant-master wars Heavy burden laid Tithes on worship day Parking fee at the church entrance Paying the captains'salary Sign of hard work After a decade of serfdom Slate of virtuous saviors To satiate the vacant post Commander of the arm forces All aspirants are capable No need of degree in security and intelligence Only slate collaboration is needed At campaign trail pledges To bring down the anguish After a call in The suffragists confirmed the accord Sign of hard work On vigil of balloting Capital besieged the ghetto Blessings in disguise The meal of the day Women lamented The price of flour Dipsomaniac gangsters Sung the threnody in low tone 'Husler juu, absolutism chini ' 'Puppet of the government, no!' 'Husler up, dynasty down ' Sign of hard work Early in aurora Another civic chore Protracted queue To en route the savior Moon peed on them The sun desiccated the white blood cells Contest monitor solemnly bewailed 'Poll results are already in the hand ' The diverted will of the voters At the midst of the nightmare In the dark rooms in their homes To influence third liberation Economic liberation Sign of hard work The subsequent day The entire dull odds Cost of electricity Disavowed the democracy Inquisitive voters Impatiently waited To realize the chief Commander of all arm forces Poll results were fair Half won half lost Round table call To share cup of coffee Thanks giving To irrefutable victory Yellow fever wave Back to business Sign of hard work Hundred days glossed over A year and then decade Not even smooth pledge conformed Crocodile tears pads the air Life back to routine Work hard to feed them Predatory champions Their deposit accounts Launched in Switzerland, china, USA Sign of hard work
