An Ode to Working

A poem about work-life balance

To the fed up screamers,

day dreamers,

and Ponzi schemers -

If you sew a bustle,

build a trestle,

or run a hustle.

One day the work with cease,

you’ll see a new lease,

and you will find peace.

From your guidance,

will come subsidence,

of their reliance.

Just know that one day,

the work will cease.

Productivity will increase

and you will find peace.

Those you train,

will begin to reign

and the work will sustain.

One day you’ll be able to put your ringer on mute,

take off that suit

and stop the commute.

So you can get back to what

matters most:

a facebook post,

some avocado toast,

or a party with a real nice host.
