you who work the earth


the sun beats down
on the workers that harvest 
the fruit from the trees
the berries from their bushes
the lettuce that we eat
I watch from my brother's car
air-conditioned, running fine
and I think about how different
their lives are from mine

          forgive me
          I'm not responsible
          for the advantage of the birth
          I respect you
          I admire you
          you who work the earth
