My mother said
‘Work hard’,
So hard that you will be better than I am.
Hard that you will live a better life.
My teacher said
Hard work brings success
You will reap what you sow
Discipline goes with good results
Work hard.
My neighbours,
They told their kids to work harder.
So that they could do better than I did
Because as they said
Their kids could do better than I.
Work hard,
The motivational speaker.
With all kinds of quotations,
Biblical to philosophical said,
Work work hard.
All this years
I have been working
Each year harder
But it seems the harder I work,
The more the TAXES
Is it worth working?
I wish they told me,
It was mostly for the taxman,
When he came knocking!
