Effort

I work hard
Don’t let me start
I work hard
than all of you

You suits,
Mad wealth pursuits
Don’t give a hoot
If I fell on a shard

That much effort
for pennies few
Soft hands
Skills anew

Picking all
Whatever you threw
Living on lard
I work hard

Potluck

Ceramic act, earthen ware
millions splashed randomly
not a penny to spare
craft adorning vast palaces,
bare minimum living, hard to bear,
fare isn’t fair, utter waste of a prayer
