148 - Glow

Can you analyse this business?

Can you survey this quantity?

Can you engineer this software?

Or are you “just” a deputy?

Describe your job in three words

What do you really do?

Are you a workplace sanitation operative?

Or do you just clean out smelly poo?

Is your job important?

Is the title overblown?

As long as it brings the wages in

It’s your life, your cornerstone

Because whether you’re a dustman

Or a company CEO

Ultimately you’re still a person

And you have an inner glow
