Why do we labor and work so hard?
Is it for riches that leave us scared?
*****
What makes us rise and begin each day?
When for courage and strength is what we pray.
*****
We do things we hate so deep.
Murmur and complain until we are asleep.
*****
What makes us choose the things that we hate?
Almost like sorrow has become our fate.
*****
Why cant we choose the things that we love?
Things that bring joy and come from above.
*****
Why do we labor for all that is vain?
Somebody tell me. This is insane.
