A labourer is someone who sells his own comfort to buy ease for others. He is the one who may sleep hungry himself, yet fills the stomachs of the entire city.
Even the sun of May 1st does not bring a new morning to those huts where harsh sunlight rules the roofs, and in their fate are only scorching deserts, rocky lands, and rough calluses hardened on their palms.
How painful is that moment in the evening when a labourer father steps across his doorstep empty-handed, and innocent eyes, instead of looking for bread, begin to read his empty hands and his lowered gaze.
These hands, on which time has carved the lines of labour, are the very foundation of this nation’s structure.
If only we didn’t just decorate stages and give speeches for one day, but also tried to understand those silent sobs and unspoken pains. A labourer does not need a “day” — he needs justice. Not slogans — but fair wages. Not sympathy — but respect.
Because a country is not built by palaces, but by the sweat of huts.
Salute to every labourer who is still working today, even on a holiday, just to feed his children.
