Carthorse
You use me
And when I'm sick
You starve me.
And are quick
To chastise me.
You work me
And when I need a break
You question me.
And ask how long I'll take
To rest me.
You exhaust me
And when work I refuse
You ignore me.
And the money I lose
Will break me.
You pay me
The little that's left
From your luxury.
And your life reflects
My poverty.
And when I'm sick
You starve me.
And are quick
To chastise me.
You work me
And when I need a break
You question me.
And ask how long I'll take
To rest me.
You exhaust me
And when work I refuse
You ignore me.
And the money I lose
Will break me.
You pay me
The little that's left
From your luxury.
And your life reflects
My poverty.
