The diggers (Free verse) by creamy1983
The first man digs
He digs til his arms ache
He digs till he can no more
Then lays to sleep, only to wake
Again he digs
Deeper and deeper into the earth
His destiny is to dig
A laborer since birth
The second man watches
As the first grows old
The second man takes over
Once the first grows cold
The first man finally lays to sleep
In the hole they both have dug
The second man covers the first
After one final hug
The second man finds a new spot
And digs til his arms burn
The third can only stand back
To watch and wait his turn
--a lil something that was in my head--
