Being Tired Is Luxury: Few Parents Can Afford The Feeling Poem by Terence George Craddock

both parents working
no time so little time rushing
to fit so many tasks into days working
constant to pay bills expenses rushing working

being tired is luxury when it comes to children
not many parents can afford the mire tired feeling
overtired is normality occasional constant rushing
there is an emotional physical toll in too much working

when a country imposes too much burden on children raising
when cost of living means standard of living falling falling
when standard of living is below poverty line living

when standard of living is heartache pain living
when standard of living is can't pay bills buy food living
then watch birthrate rapid falling falling falling

being tired is luxury when it comes to children
