SWEAT

 

SWEAT

 

Glistening beads of moisture,

Bitter life, hardworking, allure,

Essays passage of encounter,

Life never is better, yet superior, (1)

 

Each money hard earned, tell,

Living now unsure, next trail,

Food meager body need wait,

Hunger, not taste, spirit quiet, (2)

 

Rain comes, lighting, thunder,

Humans frightened, surrender,

Mere sweat, not a mere miracle,

Blends cottage safe entangle, (3)

 

O human remember an age,

Exhilarating beauty a craze,

Tell me dear, perspire you a lot,

Passion and temptation alert, (4)

 

Sweat on the forehead, dripping,

Warm hugs, love, close kissing,

Once your happy life starts,

Profuse sweating, tell, sights, (5)

 

Lifelong companion, man, wife,

Tears and toil molded in strife,

Hand in hand walk sweating,

Tired, long life, path is risking, (6)

 

Remember your child, sick, fever,

Sweating heavily, think shiver,

Felt sweet on your forehead,

Gripping fear, pray instead, (7)

 

Have you human drunk, salty,

Sweat part and parcel pretty,

Have you feared dying hour,

Sweat indicates, pray shower, (viii)

 

May the spirit recover, revive,

Not sweat but tear salty live,

Human blood melts to sweat,

Or tear, when happy, sad neat, (9)

 

Sweat not from eyes, body secret,

Indicate the situation, soul reflect,

Run for miles, walk under the sun,

Sweat melt impurity active earn, (10)

 

Stay laborers, children, women,

Sweat and soaked cloth woven,

Lord lives them active life salty,

Rather than tear, sweat reality. (11)
