Quatrain of Working Fool - 2920

Quatrain of Working Fool

Working Fool - the more you work
the more foolish you become

Tis the slovenly lower caste that
provides enviable living
for the ruling
class.

Tis the panting worker who gives
up his malodorous sweat
for those more
crass.

Tis the heavenly soul who grind
their substance into the
ground for their
king,

Tis the obtuse personality who
lays down his life hoping
to catch the brass
ring.
