This is the body of the working man,
Wiry and thin,
Muscled in strange places,
Aching and quaking,
Chronically fatigued.

This is the body of the working man,
Shiftless and needful,
Addicted and deprived,
Desperate and impulsive.

This is the body of the working man,
Branded by society,
Neglected in health,
Abused by self.

This is the body of the working man,
Breaking slowly,
Aging quickly,
Dying fast.
