For An Ox Can'T Ask

An ox is a persistent ploughman
    he sets his shoulder to the task
  Not knowing what he's up against
    for no question can he ask

  Big machines can do his job
    in almost no time, even less ~
  Are we all 21st century oxen
    at the mercy of progress

We too are like oxen destined to plough and plough with no notable results and unable to ask questions. Our plight is well presented. Enjoyed reading!
