Just Another Holiday

(haiku)

Labor Day folly.

Celebrate the working man

then lower his wage.

*

The working man's goal.

Work an entire life away

making others rich.

*

When the work is done

live on an entitlement

they yearn to deny.

*

Make it to the end

and you and all that hard work

just goes up in smoke.

*

Few will remember
who or what you even did,
least of all your boss.
