Work and Play

Work and Play

A Poem by BlueShadow

Toiling the land

The farmers pray

For more rain

Sun and wind


Growing the wheat

Is very hard

People need it

Living and seeing


Working is tiring

Better than laziness

Becoming better, stronger

Toiling evokes effort


The work liberates

Farmers from standstill

We find love

In the payment


Sometimes we wonder

When it’ll stop

The endless cycle

Work and play


Playing is fun

No pain required

It’s time wasted

For improving endurance


Becoming the shovel

The farmer improves

Stamina and strength

Boldness and courage


Work is water

Necessary and sustenance

Fun is sugar

Unhealthy and destructive


Let us remember

We shall understand

Working is hard

Pays during end
