You're not just a laborer, you're a source of value!
You carry the burden, you build, but you're the one with the lightest pockets!
They call you "hard workers," but that's just a cover-up to cover up the "harsh system" that saps your energy! Don't ask "what for," but ask "why" — why do you produce everything, but all you get are scraps?
Your fatigue isn't destiny, it's evidence of structural injustice!
Unite, because you're the ones who should be —not the ones being trampled on— but the ones who determine the direction of history!

This Poem directly addresses the construction worker, not with pity, but with a fierce recognition of their exploited value. The poem systematically dismantles the narrative of the "hard worker" to expose the systemic injustice beneath, transforming the worker's identity from a passive laborer into the active, essential source of economic value and a potential agent of historical change.
