ANOTHER TIME

ANOTHER TIME

It was another time, not at all like now
None thought history was in the making
Hard labouring with sweat on the brow

A full day’s work and limbs were aching
Some were still waiting for that new age
And said it was so, but were only faking

For most, life stuck forever at that stage
Retirement only when an old body failed
Many folk were ready to turn that page

Years later, new work heroes were hailed
Trades Unions formed with collective voice
Striking, like a rebellion, as workers railed

Today, there seems to be another choice
Work, or stone the Chairman’s RollsRoyce
