new, original poem: sweat & steel

in poem •  6 years ago 

as one who has toiled in the fields
borne of sweat and steel
and labored beneath a yellowing sun
under which all our colors run,

should you find yourself alone at last
feet still planted in collective clay
to yourself this singular question ask —
to whom do you owe this day?
