Work

WORK WORK WORK
In the realm of labor stark,
We toil with hands and minds marked
By the unseen burdens we bear,
In the relentless pursuit of our share.

Colleagues strive to meet the task,
Each day a struggle, a constant mask
Of effort and dedication shown,
In the world where success is sown.

But beware the lurking sin,
That may weaken the spirit within,
For corruption's poison spreads wide,
And in its shadow, honesty may hide.

So let us work with hearts pure,
And in our diligence, endure,
For in the honest toil we find,
The true wealth of a noble mind.
