Relentless drudgery
Relentless drudgery
Running on the treadmill
The sprint is futile there is no end
Only exhaustion to keep you company
In the midnight hour sleep is awoken
Rest cannot lay on a heavy chest
Lines trace out the picture
A dark figure appears
Rips back the sheets
Work cannot wait
The weary must work on
Without pay they are hidden away
Relentless is the need of greed
And the crumbs reduce to none
~ Camille
