What drives you?
Where does your interest lie?
Could you work all day?
Or would it make you cry?
What makes you get up
and out of bed?
Is it the lure of the dollar,
or a desperate need for bread?
Is each day a struggle
to fulfill a basic need?
Or is it a race,
between pleasure and greed?
Is it altruism that finds you
at the sick bed of others?
Or is it your own desires causing
you to cheat your brothers?
Lightness and dark,
Softness and hard,
Who’s is charge of the hand,
Who deals the card?
Remember each day
when you lift your own load,
Not one of us knows
what’s at the end of the road.
