Commemorating the Haymarket Affair (4 May 1886) in Chicago,
Promoted by an ancient European Spring Festival,
Known as Labour Day, May Day, or more,
In most countries, Brazil, Ukraine and Portugal.
Known by different names,
Witnessed on different days,
The first Monday of September catches the fame,
And so does the first of May.
The 'eight-hour workday' general strike (1 May 1886),
And a bomb to create havoc,
Led to a hype,
Which led to a lot of discussions and talks.
During all seasons,
Showing courtesy to all their workers,
Various countries focusing on various reasons,
Pay tribute to their labourers.
Amid this lockdown,
Everyone is working for the betterment of the society.
Wearing a smile of duty and not a frown,
'Safety first, service next' should be our thought's priority.
