Sweat (Pleiades Form)

P K Routray
P Gaan

(part 1)

Sweat of brow tastes salty but outcome is sweet,
Sour is the fruit obtained from the works when we cheat.
Sweat out of worries and fear should be dispensed
Sweat of sincerity and hard work always pays dividend,
Scriptures tell that you have right to sweat for the works but not on its fruits,
Sweat less successful man takes more out of life than he contributes.
surely almighty helps the man sweating for His jobs in many divine routes.

(Part 2)

Sweat of brow the peasants pour,
Swear by God to produce grain more.
Swindle the rich their hard earned wealth,
systematically wasting in the name of health.
Swim in the sea of affluence and plenty,
Swirl in the in the vortex of luxury and bounty.
Spend the farmers their time in misery and shanty.

An impassioned write, pkr. One, seemingly, straight from the heart.
