Universal Truth

"I bargained with life for a penny,
And life would pay no more
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why you must bear the task.

I worked for a menials hive,
Only to learn ,dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of life,
Life would have willingly paid."
