The Trivial Tapestry

The voices of the children,
Rehearsing, laughing, learning,
Are woven in and out

The paychecks of the workers
Dwindling, depositing, cashing,
Are strung into the mess

The sun of the summer
Hiding, beating, burning,
Washes out the work

The earths dirt and grime
Cradling, covering, devouring,
All the work that you've done

On that trivial tapestry.
