#80 Labour - Labour without gain

This is dedicated to labour without gain



To labouring with pain

Even as it all still feels the same

And going on sans shame

With neither result nor fame



To the psychiatrist, trying day after day

To cure a patient, to get through some way

To the teacher working to break though to a kid

Even if just trying the same thing they already did



To the benched athlete, trying to improve his skill

To the struggling painter who is painting still

To the addict trying to attend rehab again

Yes this is dedicated to labour without gain



For it's the labour without gain, that leads to success

It's when you know you're fighting for nothing and finally confess

That's when you're free, to labour on and on

Because that labour may have been for something all along
