She worked her life away in the day The sun had no mercy it seared her skin It sent sweat on a merciless errand The pipes of water broke their boundaries Starting right from her pitch black hair Running down her ebony skin A fake tear it created under her eyes The old man calls it tears of life Around her earlobes it created a course Paving a way down her jawline bone And landing upon her pointed chin The long journey of the loving sweats Found their way unto her spine Snaking down onto her slender waist In no time her clothes flood wet Drenched in the merciless sweat of life Few coins in her expectant pocket bank Blind her thoughts on her soaking body And flashing thoughts of her child at home Make an even joyous perambulation
