Cursed Trinity

I am burdened by the weight of three
One trudges while the other two watch
Hopeful for their destiny is tied to the one
Past becoming fat by his efforts
Future attempting to run ahead
While the encumbered toil over daily bread
Blood and tears sustain the two wretches
Nourished by their insatiable greed
Careless of their effect so long as they breathe
Past, present, future cursed trinity
