Day job
Employed on daily basis
Mr. Nasirul Haque,
Devoted life to service
No, he is completely wrong.
Attend on time every day-
Even some days,
arrive at work before everyone else,
Work with focus-
Although the authorities most days
keep him busy with more working hours,
Under some guise.
For these additional functions
He receives no remuneration,
Happily accepts monthly salary
And nothing more.
Yet he is devoted to his work
Always conscious of duty,
Although all grow at an exponential rate
Not only does his salary.
(The name is an imaginary one.)
