My grandfather
Worked hard all his life
And died

Sitting in the dark
By the kitchen stove
On cold winter nights 
Rubbing his calloused hands
Over and over again
Not saying a word 
To anyone
Listening to...

Working Man
Stiff joints, 
Tired to the bone, 
For mere coins,

Rough hewn hands, 
Tarnished by labor, 
While times slipping sands, 
... Erode this old trader, 

Get a little ahead, 
Then quickly fall...
