Analysis of We Toil Together



We toil together day and night.
Sweat embraces us.
Muscles are enforced to fight.

We have one race, religion, cast.
We are not garlanded
by fragmented flowery band
but by foul smell of sweat.

When we return home,
our kiths and kins wait for us.
We share love, affection
and never feel lonesome.

At night sleep allies us.
Drags us to its shelter
but sweet sleep never makes fuss.

We earn trivial.
Still, we are content.
Our sun rises with hope,
not with dismal.

We toil together day and night.
Sweat embraces us.
Muscles are enforced to fight.
