Rewards for Labour

Long time nothing new,
We are due for a dream come true.
A demand we make upon the Gods-
An appeal to be fulfilled against all odds.

Those countless hopes and dreams we send,
Wishing all things broken will themselves mend.
The powers-that-are must grant this and more,
For on who else shall they plunder their store?

Its our right to deserve those blessings,
Help, luck, fortune and all those things.
The sun must rise and set for us,
Its only for us, all this grand fuss.

In this entire story we oft forget the fact.
That which life teaches us with too little tact.
Its better to first deserve and then desire;
Every reward is backed with efforts made prior.

Its when we do our part of the deal,
That we may apply for the divine seal.
Its why we have been given the control-
To make things that are good or foul.
It begins with a want, turned into need,
Then the effort and pain of the deed.
If your heart's in it and jobs well done,
Then its return in kind will surely come.
