Is It Alright To Take Breaks From What Is Right?

When something a little negative is deemed ‘alright’, and when it is regularly done, it becomes something more clearly not right.

The workers were enthusiastic,
to work in their rotated jobscopes
for the same equal benefits.
Surely, with such sharing,
most should get more?

One day, on the production line,
one took a smoking break,
while the others worked on.
Surely, with one short break,
productivity should be alright?

The next day, on the line,
another took up smoking too,
while the others worked on.
Surely, with another short break,
productivity should be still alright?

The day after, on the line,
many more took up smoking,
taking more smoking breaks too.
Surely, with many short breaks,
productivity should be way gone?

The workers were disappointed,
to work in their rotated jobscopes
for the same equal benefits.
Surely, with such working,
all will get less?

When something a little positive is deemed alright, and when it is regularly done, it becomes something more clearly right.
