The watchers watch on,
while the doers do,
it’s  been that way for
an eon, or two.

But the world’s changing,
and crumbling, yes,
it’s one more cycle
we must do, I guess.

When it all falls down,
and we see the mess,
who will fix Dumpty?
Not sure, I confess.

Surely not watchers,
they’d watch to their fill,
if they could manage
to play their game still.

This world will be fixed
by those who will work,
there won’t be room for
for those who would shirk.

A broom and hammer
for each of us, we
will clean and construct,
that’s called industry.
