In Praise of Work

The possibility is there
That I might write
With the poet’s innate inspiration
What comrade time 
Has reason to portend

Of our aims
I might write
Or even our dreams

But our destinations!
Even the Pope’s edict…
Hist! I pledge my doubt.

Of greater moment 
Is our faith
In the plough.

Hail plough!
Hail abundance!
