A Good Hope. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The international labor day passed
Workers they are united today
Everywhere they likes to get better wages
Rights of labor a universal appeal
I see the workers mostly ladies coming
With brass booms, spades, small pick axes
Baskets, and available equipment
And doing their own labor in road side
The great scheme of employment
My country offered them minimum job days
Minimum wages for a minimum living
Anyway happy for a days living without worry
I knows it is insufficient for better future
But sufficient at least for survival
I know it is insufficient to educate their child
But at least they can save something for them
They are now empowered and self standing
For a decent and dignified living
Employment guarantee scheme my country offers.
