WORK
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
Work satisfies my soul
Work keeps me happy
Work brings me money
Work fulfills a craving to be busy;
Work helps me define data
Construct data and run experiments
And find results
And categorise a certain scientific aspect
Of chemical/biochemical/biomedical engineering;
Work helps me create edifying literature
Both prose and poetry
And bring the joy of the beauty
Of art and sculpture to the internet and newpapers;
Work makes my home a home, sweet home
And the beauty of cooking, baking and cleaning
Makes my home a shining source of happiness
May all of us be content in our desire to work and earn.
