How For?

How For?

A farmer and his long time wife look back and to the future

How Far?



We wandered thro' vast fields of years
You and I with no direction clear;
Yoked, mindless mules, ignorant of the pain
We pulled the plow for another man's gain
Willingly to the traces we stood
Never living the life that we could
No comfort was given one to another
From the barn to the fields no word did we utter
Faithful to the master's grudging hand
We halted in silence to receive the fiery brand
"How far will we pull this damn plow?" you asked
"To the grave, my dear... then a little past
