Sweat

The sweat that comes out is not that matters
Where you feel guilty
For the outcome is faulty 

The effect of how it comes out that matters
Not that you feel heat, not that you feel suffocation 
Your hard work that involves its excretion

The effect of how it comes out that matters 
For which you feel proud 
Helping others in and out

The effect of how it comes out that matters 
Earning your livelihood 
For you would

Sweat in this way that matters
The effect of how it comes out that matters
And when you get the reward
For you work so hard

The effect of how it comes out that matters
