Hear me
read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me
read
the poem as
a YouTube video.

Labor ought to earn a decent living
As business cannot help serve social ends,
Because the good of all of us depends
On equity in taking and in giving.
Remember that the lives of those who labor
Determine the environment of home,
As one must live at last with everyone.
Yet some forget that wages shape behavior.
