Work

Work

I wonder, how come
Little insects Work to eat,
While intelligent man becomes
Slave to Poverty and Defeat?

I wonder too, with all his wealth,
Man is empty of happiness,
Spending much to ruin his health,
Destroying the Earth with carelessness.

Man is the only creature blessed
To have the mind to work and think
But how come this is what I assessed:
In Self-destruction, he seems to sink?

This has a lot of valid points about society, and it also raises some interesting questions. Good write!

Thank you LuciaMarie, it is all rooted in Work, because a busy man has no time to waste, on idleness or self-destructing vices.
