Bread Winner

bread winner
we enjoy the beef
but the cow pays 
the price 

bread winner
he fight like a lion
work like an elephant
despite he could earn alot
or little
yet he eat like a aunt
cos alot of mouths he 
got to feed 

bread winner 
his life is full of responsibilities
his head thinks alot
he got not alot time 
to rest 
always he has to work
cos 
as money comes
money goes

bread winner
he is a sacrificial lamb
he is the hope of his family
he is a pain relief
to those he looks after
he works so hard 
to put food on the table
under the rain 
under the sun 
he is never relentless
what a soul 

bread winners?
respect to all 
hard working poeple out there
keep up 
your are a blessing
to humanity
