  • NOBLE POETRY  

  • Day laborer

    Spade, basket in hand
    They sit on the sidewalk.
    Work if someone calls
    Then there will be cooking at home that day.

    Helper, Earth cutter, Stone crusher, Mason
    There is no descent work.

    The work that gets in hand, performs all day long
    Throughout the morning till evening.

    In this way, year after year, their family goes on
    Working by their hands, talking about life.

    They come from from far away villages
    Hoping for a little work in town-
    Maybe there was a piece of land
    But there is none, due to the flood.

    In statistics, they are floating crowds
    No one takes any account on them
    Does anyone know, what they are talking about?

    (Day laborers come from the village to town with
    great expectation to lead a better, however, there lives
    do not improve much!)
