The Breadwinner

The Breadwinner       £1500.00 - Sold (Limited edition Giclee prints available)

Oil on canvas

50 x 65cm

Framed in brown varnished wood tray frame

Let us dig down

drill down to roots

there is the foundation of wealth creation.

You say you can afford it, and I have the means

and true we’ve worked hard for it

silver spoon are distant dreams.

But what of the farmer

what of the soil tiller

what of the weaver and the wood cutter

what of the miner, the water carrier?

That woman and man in far forgotten places

in ill-regarded spaces, toiling unseen

working to provide for an extended family.

That family extends to you and I

we the believers that we make it, 

that we’ve made it.

But dig down, drill down to root

and there the backs of the real

breadwinner

the breadwinner for all nations, on who we build

the breadwinner for world consumption

voracious as ever, blind-dazzled to disregard the source.

Active recognition is all he seeks

Fair trade and just reward all she deserves
