Dignity is in work, not in the nature of work. Part I.

With the nature and value of work in harmony, dignity in work no longer an ignominy.

 

See the bee buzzing among the flowers
Never found among Nature's disavowers

'Work is life, life is work', says the bee
'Meaningful work is the only way to be'

With fruits of earnest labor a soul merrily basks
'Yet what's a fair wage for such work?', one asks

Ah, therein lies the human's existential rub!
For our work value outweighs our pay stub

Such a fatal fissure between human work and life
'Work-life balance' embodies our ensuing strife

Yet 'Meaningful work is play, the play of life',
Asserts Nature's gleam, with mischief rife
