I am grateful for the combination of hard work,
patience and luck
because I am experienced enough to know
If I work hard
and am patient
eventually
I’ll find the place where the four leaf clover grows.
Here rest my oars.
A killick thrown to the school of fishes,
To still my boat from the peering waves.
Fishy-wishy scatter as water splatters,
Like wood chips flying when the pickaxe strikes.
A ship draws near, but my killick blocks its kiss—
Its stale mouth might stagger my rest,
And send my gathered fish fleeing the net.
Much of the mud my killick swallows,
So the wave won’t tug the boat an inch.
More students from the school must reach my net.
A long wait beneath the twilight-dimming sky.
Yet the fish market waits for a refill.
The cool breeze begs my eyes to close,
But hunger bites hard with its mocking teeth—
My killick just has to steady the float.
The area where the coffee scent fills the air
Where the homeless see the well off and just stare
Everyone has their heads down into their phones
Beautiful buildings and waterfalls running off stones
The people are too educated to be nice and polite
Front desk security is called if something isn't right
Plenty of places to choose from to fill their hunger
People on the move are bumping into one another
Everyone seem to have the same serious expression
Leaving you with that strictly business impression
Businesses lunches, Brief cases, and due dates
Demanding bosses and paperwork that can't wait
It's a fast pace world and it must be hard to keep up
The metropolitan area is not a place to interrupt
at one with nature
the sun sets on the weary ~
reward for hard work
Surefooted men work hard on the roof.
Their job: to make sure it's all leak-proof.
But in the heat, they're baking
and the work is back-breaking.
Of their travails I'll not be aloof.
My Job Is Killing Me
Manual Labor
Under appreciated
Underpaid
Short breaks
Work yourself to death
Too many call inns
Lazy generation
No effort
No strong work ethics
Hard night just to earn a dollar
Never save enough to retire
Eyes are burning
2 days off are flying
Everyday is just a blur
Feet to slumber
Days run into weeks
Days into months
My money always disappears
The beast must have rest—it's a horse
If not your quest's over—of course
These trips had required
Getting tired and mired
Cars from this hard work—us divorce
I am a captive of these chores,
Clean dirt from windows, walls and floors.
Clothes washed to remove all the dirt,
Even the lipstick on his shirt.
There's no time to check if its mine.
Washing is done, dirt came out fine.
"A hard day's night", and when I die.
They'll throw dirt on me, where I lie.
Stoved-up city
I’m a stoved-up man
I keep on movin’
Just as best I can
Joints are achin’
And my bones do creak
My hands are shakin’
And I feel so weak
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man
Workin’ hard all day
Do the best I can
Just to make my pay
Try to make ends meet
It’s so hard to do
I refuse to cheat
Stay forever true
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
I’m a stoved-up man
When my day is through
I hurry on home
To spend time with you
You’re the only one
I think about all day
I wouldn’t have it
Any other way
I’m a stoved-up man ...
Do the best I can ...
Try to make ends meet ...
I refuse to cheat ...
It’s so hard to do ...
Stay forever true ...
I’m a stoved up man ...
I’m a stoved-up man …
Yesterday can't be fixed
Tomorrow is unpredictable
Take notation for today
Live in every moment
Avoid negative thoughts
Follow your instinct
Always do things with love
Chance to make you happy
Work hard for your goals
An hourglass never lie.
If you will work hard,
You'll be full without begging
In all of your life.
One way to improve yourself is to work
If you want a better life for yourself,
Start working hard, as soon as possible
Not everything will work out at first,
But there's nothing to worry about
The main thing is not to give up
Of course, successes make us richer,
But thanks to failures, we grow.
Success is no accident
It entails hard work
Clear consistent approach
Open to productive learning
Accept continuous studying
Working with unrelentless sacrifice
Most of all, enjoy the process
And love the things of what you do.
The home office became synonymous with covid. Men built desks, for their wives, with their bare hands. Once again, a hammer and nails, took to a tree. Once again, and perhaps, for such a time as this, a husband found out just how hard at work his wife truly is.
—quote by poet
Taking Licks
Lily licks my hand
with tiny sandpaper tongue
as far as it goes
fur’s unruffled on desk shelf
on tenterhooks, daughter works
what now, little man?
51 years on the chain gang, tell me
how did that work out for you?
nobody said it would be easy,
I'll admit I sometimes play the fool
your sole desire was to fit in
it started at the beginnin'
when you mistook direction
for a lethal dose of deception
what now, little man, what now
what now, little man, and how?
... confusion!
bitterness where you once had style
now you're trying hard to forget
after a drink, y' gave them a mile
n' just what did you expect?
they're asking for an acrobat
for one who bends and will not crack
you did not have to answer that
you took the bait n' can't give it back
51 years, and I am not impressed
just short of amazing,
'little more, maybe less
what now, little man, what now
what now, my brother, and how?
... confusion!
n' those who would sell you the cure
are the same who are makin g you sick
you sold yourself too short
