With our backs bent
Bearing tons of wealth
That will never get within
Our arms' length

We trudge from one day to the next

Living on hope
While hunger makes us mop
And for money-or lack of it?
We bathe with no soap

We give more length to the rope

The day will come, when fire
And brimstones will dash their desires
Of continued plentitude in the face of
Our immeseration's despair

We smile through today's brunt
For we know: OUR DAY SHALL COME!
