Working For The Man Poem by Shannon ...

Working For The Man

Rating: 5.0


up before light
down after night
stop thinking
start working
with all your might

programmed & trained
redirect the brain
build
borrow
grow 20%, it’s ingrained

put in more hours
take shorter showers
get out the door
they need you more
they have the power

goodbye my honey
hug the babies, go be a dummy
pay the sitter
eat out for dinner
all for the love of money

You know many chase the carrot on the stick and die frustrated.

All this hard working for the love of money.... A very true count of daily life. A simple but sharp and realistic poem with a bit satire as well. Good work, shannon. Good rhymes and stanzas. Keep it up! Best Wishes. Naseer
