Honest Labour Poem by DM W

Honest Labour



I labour long hours
Cloaked in a halo of light:

Not for commercial gain
Or for the raised flags of the faithful.

I write not for the reluctant applause
Of pedantic critics.

I create not for gods or idols
Or for ubiquitous tribal creeds:

Nor for the glory of eternity
Long after my bones are ash.

But only to communicate honestly
With the heart of common humanity.
