I must go the places,
I’m not permitted to speak.
Daily my work takes
me there, week by week.

I hear high orders spoken,
words everywhere on record,
then I’m released but broken
to voices remaining unheard.

As rain that patters on the roof,
we will listen to only the wind.
Anonymous & lowly aloof,
worn out from relentless grind.

The worker is the backbone of the body. I enjoyed the read.
