Working Dog

Working Dog

James Dinsmore

So hard,

So long;

I strive to survive,

I strive to be strong.

So high,

So far,

I plan to move up,

I hope to go far.

So low at the bottom

I sacrifice rest;

I live like a dog

And scheme for success.

I must prove myself,

And take a penny for pride;

I kiss the man's feet,

While I hate him inside.

I strive to survive,

I strive to be strong;

It's so hard,

So long.
