HONOUR WORKERS

How will the Earth be
If there was no employee?
Bare and nihilistic will it be;
Abandoned fruitless and free.

The land we dwell
Would be parched and futile;
Either as wilds or swale
With wreckage, rubbish and swill.

There would be no habitation,
No lodging, sanitarium or shrine.
We might be living in cavern or den
Like paleolithic men.

Everybody and everything relies on manforce;
There'd be no food without farmers,
No cushy shoes without cobblers,
No transportation without drivers.

No cozy furniture without carpenters,
No household appliance without engineers,
No parturition without the help of nurses and doctors,
No education outwith noble teachers.

Technology might have been evolved,
But deprived of workforce, everything is nought.
Let the labours be celebrated,
For without them, the world will be void.
