The Ladders

I believe that we are,
We are the ladders for them
to reach where they need,
and where there's joy.
What pains a lot,
they see us as nothing 
although we are the pillars,
the basis of the world
and i believe that without us,
they can't really afford to achieve
what they need.
It's us who vote for them to live,
and it's our sweat
that help them to feed
though they think that we are nothing.
