WDYS # 184 -A Roundup post

inspiration, Motivational, Poetry, prompts, Short story, What do you see

People, from young to old

Wearing the yoke and chains of hard labor

Every day is the day to take up the challenge

With sweat and blood, they earn a few coins

What is their reward you ask

It’s only survival from day to day

We celebrate them just one day a year

What about the rest of 364 days?

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  12. This very much reminds me of the workers who are brought in from other countries (to – name any country -) to do manual labor cheeply. Survival is from day to day. And it is very unfortunate that this type of disadvantage continues to exist.

    May we find the ways and means to give all dignity in their labors.

  15. Good question. What about 364 days? People spend thousands on ornaments, entertainment, etc. etc. without bargaining, but when it comes comes to paying a laborer, see how they bargain.
