We Build Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

We Build



We build
we build in life
we humans

some without ceasing
some with continuous toil
weary the spine the back
and the machine creaks
for lack of oil

forget we that there be a residence
that waits up us

and how that residence is hungry; it
gobbles us, the cemetery

we build
we build in life
we humans
