Hard Work Never Killed Anyone Lies Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

good honest hard work
never killed anyone is a lie
no one in the historical

graveyard skeleton history
etched on exhausted bones of sixteen
hours work a day slavery

worked six days a week
in bound crucible lifestyles ghost gone
in eras civilization passed

will rise up in memory grave testimony
will roll over in the grave to moan at lid coffin
closed denying lie hard work never killed anyone
